 * __**The Boss**__ is regarded by Candy as a nice guy if you know how to handle him. He is Curley's father.
 * __**Curley**__ is a small man who knows "how to use his hands" (a boxer). He wants to tangle with bigger guys. He was married to The Tart two or three weeks before the book opens.
 * __**The Tart**__ is Curley's wife and though she's been married only a couple of weeks, she already has the eye for other men including Slim.
 * __**Slim**__ is the skinner and a boss out in the fields. He is universally respected and admired. He and George become friends out of mutual respect.
