Gender Criticism Essay on Of Mice and Men
English
1 Found helpful • 2 Pages • Essays / Projects • Year: Pre-2021
How are gender stereotypes reinforced or undermined in Of Mice and Men? Consider what roles the men in the novel and Curley’s wife play. George Milton and Lennie Small are drifters, struggling to hold a job to achieve their American dream; owning their own ranch. The author, John Steinbeck uses examples that reinforce gender stereotypes throughout the short story Of Mice and Men. Curley’s wife is considered poor and is married to the ranch owner’s son. This can be found as the disrespect of Curley’s wife by all of the men on the ranch. This links to the gender stereotype that women are only an object or possession to men. The gender stereotype is that all of the men are all hard working every day with labour intensive jobs on the ranch, however Curley’s wife just flirts with all the men. The last stereotype is that all women are manipulative and lie. Steinbeck plays on these gender stereotypes and reinforces them throughout the story through the perceptions of characters.
