I heard curly keeps a glove full of Vaseline for his wife...
It has come evident that Candy is very gossipy. He talks a lot about stories and facts he's heard or seen, and he talks quickly. He spends a while trying to talk his way out of a situation in chapter 2 with George thinking there were insects in his bed. (19)
George, when am I gonna get to tend the rabbits?
Live off the fat of the land, huh?
What Candy thinks is very unclear because he is always saying what he is thinking. Though, I have an insight. In chapter 3 Candy wants to join in on George and Lennie's American dream to one day own a large piece of land and settle. Candy says how he'll be thrown out by the boss if he doesn't leave sooner or later. I believe Candy thinks he won't survive, but he thinks he's so lonely. Especially after the death of his dog. (59-60)
HAHAHA! GET EM SMITTY!!!
Candy has a very interesting effect on multiple people. He is the first person George and Lennie meet at the farm and is immediately seen as a friend and a suspect as he lies to George about the beds. (18-19) Because of his gossipy nature, Candy seems to be the character we get the most information from.
Candy doesn't do much. This is not stated in the book, but we can infer that he can't do much. He is a swamper, which means he is pretty much the custodian of the farm. Because with his missing hand and old age, he might not be sticking around for longer.
Candy is very well described at the beginning of the book. He is old, frail, slim, tall, and stoop-shouldered. His most defining feature is his handless arm. (18)
