Doe sthe author portray the disabled nd menally ill as how society treated them during that time period it was placed?
The story Of Mice and Men" has a disabled nigger and a mentally ill character . In the book they are potryed as "less than average", and not ttreated with the same nights others. The setting of the 1020's is into with the treatment in the story. With slavery ended, African American were free but still faced discrimination.
the mentally ill had no rights either and were treated as criminals . Lets now go in depth with the portrayal &time period.
The emancipation Proclamation started the process of freedom & then eventually slavery was outlawed but slaves had no system of emerging in a cormtable life. Former slaves had to become sharecroppers and n the story was portrayed right since he was bound to that job but able to come and go as he pleases.
Lennie often calle a stupid bastard is mentally ill. He is treated as less as a perosn. In the time opened there want a system to help mentally ill. They were treated as criminals with no special rights or privileges. There weren't any assistance:Of mice and Men"is a connect portrayal left the mentally ill people.
