Candy is an old cripple that most of the ranchers show prejudiced against for being old. Consequently, he himself can't be dishonest and lie about his age 'I ain't got the poop any more'. Secondly Steinbeck also shows ageism through the progression of the novel by Candy having a friend at the beginning and, as the story gets on, he loses his friend to Carlson.

Ageism is shown in the book "Of Mice and Men" through the treatment of Candy, an old swamper with one hand. Despite his experience and attachment to the ranch, he is marginalized and treated as irrelevant due to his age and physical limitations. His fate reflects the harsh reality that older individuals were frequently devalued and discarded in the Great Depression era.
