Candy is generally welcoming to all characters. As the man
who greets George and Lennie, he is especially kind and
informative. His congenial behavior suggests he longs for friends and is therefore
approving of George and Lennie from the beginning. As the story continues and he learns
of their dream, he is anxious to join and willing to offer a great sum of money to join
their idea.
Candy classifies Curley's
wife as a tart. He does not trust her and warns other men of her
flirtatious behavior.
When Candy's dog smells up the
bunkhouse because he is old, Carlson encourages that it is
time for the dog to be put to sleep. Candy disagrees, but reluctantly allows Carlson to
take care of this situation to maintain his relationships with the entire group.
Although it hurts him greatly, he makes this sacrifice to maintain the guys'
respect.
Candy does not like
Curley, the boss' son. He thinks Curley is mean and that
he's pretty "handy". What he means is that Curley is pretty good in a
fight.
