On pg. 74 Crooks plays philosopher, letting Lennie know his dream is worthless. But when Lennie lets the secret out, Crooks begins to believe that Lennie and George might be the exceptions. At the end of the scene, when George returns, Crooks claims on pg. 83 that he “wouldn’ want to go to no place like that.”

What does this say about Crooks? It shows that he is insecure.
