He has no feelings for Emma at all and When he was sure of being loved, he stopped trying to please her, and his ways changed imperceptibly. He no longer used words so sweet that they made her cry[.]nor were his caresses so ardent that they drove her mad. Rodolphe soon became disinterested in Emma, and she resembled all his old mistresses, and the charm of novelty, falling away little by little like articles of clothing, revealed in all its nakedness the eternal monotony of passion.In this manner, Leon and Rodolphe are -depicted as two characters with similar and contrasting qualities.
The juxtaposition of their differing personalities aid in adding distinction and emphasizing their personalities. In juxtaposing Rodolphe to Leon, Rodolphes true character can be seen. He is a manipulating, lying, duplicitous individual, while in contrast, Leon is a kindhearted, sincere, meek individual. Their contrasting and yet similar attributes accentuate the other characters disposition.

Due To The Personalities Of Curley And His
There is considerable dialogue that reveals much about the characters. Using the third person, impersonal narrator, Steinbeck also gives a clear, crisp picture of the events that transpire in the bunkhouse, without making any personal comment. He begins the scene by describing the physical bareness of the ranch and the bunkhouse, creating a feeling of foreboding; by the end of the chapter, he has created a fully ominous feeling, due to the personalities of Curley and his wife. Both George and Lennie have a bad reaction to the ranch. CHAPTER 3 It is evening in the bunkhouse, and George is seen thanking Slim for giving one of his puppies to Lennie.
The modest Slim says it was nothing, for he might have wound up killing more of the puppies anyway. Slim then comments that Lennie is a very hard worker and asks about their friendship. George says that they have grown up together, sharing good times.
