Cruel or Kind

In the novel  Of Mice and Men  everyone has a different personality. Some are kinder than others and some are more cruel. However no one is purely kind or cruel. You may see the leader of the workers slim as a kind man, however when he has to deal with Curley he is not kind but cruel. Curley is probably the most cruel character in the novel since he shows no sign of being nice to any of the guys. Especially toward Lennie, since Lennie is tall and big Curley hates him from the first sight. Curley picks on Lennie and is unafraid since he has a mental issue, yet Lennie fought back and scared him off. A sign of kindness in the novel would be when George and Lennie were talking about their dream, and they allowed Candy to join them. It wouldn't be much of a kind act for people today to do, but back then most men don't share dreams with strangers and they were lonely most of the time. However their act of kindness or should i say George's act of kindness wasn't 100% kind either. He only allowed Candy to join them because Candy brought benefits with him; money. Therefore there is no true kind or cruel, there is always a mixer of the two. The only difference each character has is the amount of each they have, some may have more cruelty than another who is more kind.
