Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. Choose one of the characters who is introduced in Chapter Two and write an essay analyzing the various forms of characterization. I've chosen Curley's wife who I think represents darkness. Any ideas on what I should write in the introduction?...and when im analyzing the various forms of characterization am I going to just talk about Curley's wife and her role in the book?
