The readers are thrown into the novel at the height of the great depression, an economic catastrophe that shook the world. Within these dark time, an unlikely friendship is in full blossom and we are meet by Lennie and George setting up camp for the night by a riverbed. After the duo’s personalities are expressed, they begin to set up the idea of a commonly shared dream which exists according to Lennie “Because... because I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you” (Steinbeck 14). Lennie is seen as a quite simple minded and extremely dim-witted character from just the first
...aying she “ain’t tryin’ very hard” ; George, on the other hand, treats her like “jailbait”; he never initiates conversation only replying ‘curtly’ and literally. Lennie is shown to be fascinated by her femininity and sexuality as his eyes move “down over her body”; he is unaware of the risk he is taking.
Maggie is one of the daughters in the story. She is described as being like a lame animal, she walks with her "chin on chest, eyes on ground, and feet in shuffle" (Walker 87). Her mother gives the impression that Maggie is ashamed of the burn scars down her arms and legs that the fire left her with. Maggie is the younger of the two daughters. It seems as though she is still very naive and gullible. Maggie is uneducated like her mother and her lack of education has a lot to do with her character. Mama is able to persuade and control Maggie because she does not know any better. Maggie is seen as being a sweet, well behaved young lady. Possibly that is just Mama's favoritism between the girls showing through. Maybe Maggie really is that way, but we only know what we can perceive from Mama's story.

Big Mama, Maggie and Mae all have very different roles within the family as well as in their respective relationships. Big Mama is, in both literal and metaphorical terms, the mother of the family but her most important role is being Big Daddy’s wife. Through all the years her and Big Daddy have been married, she’s been hopelessly devoted the entire time. Even after all the treatment she’s received from Big Daddy and even the cancer scare, it’s obvious she is very much in love with Big Daddy: “And I did, I did so much. I did love you. I even loved your hate an’ your hardness, Big Daddy!” (II.39). In everything she does, she only looks to please Big Daddy as housewives were supposed to please their husbands even through her outspoken ways. Big Mama’s personal identity is a mixture of society’s norms and her love for Big Daddy. Maggie doesn’t necessarily have a positive role in the Pollitt family. She’s supposed to be pleasing her husband and having children, but she’s doing neither of these things and it’s clear the rest of the family is concerned or looking down upon her for it. Maggie is not fulfilling a woman’s typical role in her relationship with Brick, which to the family means something is wrong with her. Even Big Mama says, “Some single men stop drinkin’ when they get married and others start! Brick never touched liquor…” (I.22), showing how even she
Maggie wanted to show that all her hard graft has given her a new life, but her mother had a different perspective. She has no appreciation of Maggie’s purchase, and she acted like she couldn’t care less. A wide angle shot captures Maggie’s side profile and everyone else in the room. That specific angle shows the seriousness of her mother’s and Mardell’s faces, indicating that Maggie is vulnerable towards them, and to what they are saying. Straight after the camera angle changes, and this time it shows a close up of Maggies face. Depressed and shocked emotions were evident, because her own family did not acknowledge her toil on becoming what she is today. Eastwood uses these direct camera angles to really emphasize on these emphatic emotions and less on the details around them. When Maggie is fighting, her emotions are very different to what is depicted in this scene. Eastwood shows that no matter how hard we try to become successful in a beloved passion, that same success cannot be implicated in the real world. Sometimes we need to admit defeat and just move on with life, without
Maggie and Hobson in Hobson's Choice The play "Hobson's Choice" is an invigorating character comedy set in Salford, a town near Manchester. It is also a biting commentary on the Victorian values that overhung into the early twentieth century, when it was written. It pits Henry Horatio Hobson, an alcoholic old shop owner, against his forceful daughter Maggie, who is determined to break out of the dull boot shop and the life of genteel spinsterhood that awaits her. "Hobson's Choice" looks at the Victorian class and gender stereotypes, and then blows them to pieces.
In society, people have a tendency to slice away pieces of themselves to morph into someone or something that truly isn 't them. They conform into the ideal image of what society believes to be “normal.” People will begin to act a certain way or say certain things to suit a particular relationship, job, or group of friends. People are incessantly editing who they are until they “fit in.” Brick Pollitt was society 's crowned prince of masculinity. Brick did everything right in the books. He went to college, joined a fraternity, played pro football, married a drop dead gorgeous wife, and became a famous sports announcer. He is every boy 's idol and every girl 's fantasy. Brick was living on top of the world and life couldn’t be any better, right?
This culminates in one moment where Maggie’s mother comes back from drinking. Jimmie has to drag her in, and the two fight, with Maggie hidden in another room (Crane 977).
