Throughout the whole novel from when we meet him onwards we find out Curler being the Boss’s son thinks he is untouchable and nobody can hurt him and thus is superior to anybody else on the ranch (with exception to his father. ) Therefore, he does not speak to Candy as in this society a ranch hand like him at his old age would e “ nothing” compared to Curler. So we do not see much interaction between the two characters.

Similarly Curlers wife despite having no / little power (due to the fact in this time period, society at the time did not think women should have any power, they were Just there to be house wives. ) she is rude to Candy. She tries using any power she has (or thinks she has) against him to try and hurt his feelings or get him into trouble. George and Leonie, however, are nicer to Candy and even let him be part of their dream to own a small piece of land. They all plan together to buy a particular piece of and… Even though it never actually ends up happening in the book. However, this was a plan George was determined to have for Just him and Leonie because those two are the only people they have ever had. However, know what Candy has been through, and how he can ‘ contribute’ to their dream George allows him to Join in. This is also an example of Candy loneliness because he is friends with them he latches onto them and gets in on their dream so he at least knows he has one person in his life. Through the novel Candy is treated as if he is worthless.
