Who is missing a right hand in Of Mice and Men?

Answer 1

Hands reoccur throughout the book. Curley's vaseline hand, the ranch hands, Candy's missing hand, Lennie's strong rough hands, the hands of solitaire that George plays, Curley's crushed hand. All of these are included in the hand motif.

Answer 2

Curley's hand was crushed in Lennie's fist. Curley tried to pick a fight with Lennie, thinking he would be easy to beat (and make Curley look tough) but Lennie grabbed his hand to stop him, and crushed it with brute strength. To stop Lennie getting into trouble, they tell the boss that Curley's hand was crushed in a machine on the ranch.

Answer 3

Candy didn't have a hand. He is the one that said he could help raise the money and the three of them (Candy, George, and Lennie) could live on their own farm where Lennie would be able to tend the rabbits.

Answer 4

Curly had come into the barn looking for his wife. Curly starts to talk about something and Lennie smiles but only because he is thinking of the little house and tending the rabbits. Curly thinks that Lennie is laughing at him so he starts beating Lennie in the face but Lennie didnt know what to do so he called out to George. George couldn't do anything so he told Lennie to fight back so he grab Curly's fist and squeezed it so hard that he broke ever part of his hand.
