napolen complex

-->

How do I feel about the napoleon complex is that is is kinda true because I seen in movies and I think it could be true. Do I believe that its true yes I do believe that its true because like if I was short I would pick on people bigger than me so I can feel big. Do I know somebody like this no I dont know somebody like this. The way this complex relates to curley is because he is always picking on lennie because he is bigger than him. Some other things is like if I was short I wouldn’t want to get pick on by people bigger than me. I would want to feel good and make my self feel superior and bigger than I really am. I would do stuff that would make me feel good like football and wrestling that would make me kind of big and more manly. I would also do other things like drive big truck and play football with out pads and wrestle people bigger than me. I would feel like can accomplish stuff that probably any other little person couldn’t do. But in curley’s case he picked on people for no reason like if they were bigger than him he. Thought they were a threat and he wanted to show them that he was not small or week. He wanted to be seen or known and the little person that is not weak. He also wanted to be known and the bosses son and he didn’t want anybody messing with his wife so he fought and pick on people bigger than him so. He didn’t get pick on or thought of as if he was weak.

Napoleon Complex

Yeah I believe of the idea, because it is true I sometimes have it in soccer. I always think the other team or my teammates or whoever is a lot better than me. In practice I get nervous, I always ask myself what if the coach doesn’t like me because of how I play. It caused me to get scared, I thought this everyday at soccer practice and also at my games like if I don’t do good he wont put me in as much as my friends. Then I start to think my friends are going to start making fun of me, so I start to act really cool around them and I start to act as if I’m better than them at soccer, I sometimes even act a little tougher and act as if I know what to do around the coach. My friends are really good at soccer and I’m really good too its just that I mess up a little in practice and in soccer games so when he calls who wants to start for it I scream “ME!!”. This relates to him because Curley hates big guys he uses anger and fear to act tougher around tall man and chooses to fight them just because there taller and he’s smaller than most men. He even wears these kind of shoes that make him a couple inches taller. If he picks to fight and he wins the people would be like “yeah”, but if he lost the people would be like “omg are you okay”.

Napoleon Complex

I believe that Napoleon Complex is a small person acting tough to make up for something. Most of the times for his lack of size.

     I actually did know someone like this and he did the same things to me that Curley does or tries to do to Lennie. He would hit me, but of course, it wouldn’t hurt me. At one point I did get mad and hit him and from then on he became a little more feisty. Now I haven’t even seen him around.

     This Complex relates to Curley in EVERY aspect it shows and tells you. Curley is trying to make up for his lack of size. I think it also is because people have a lack of confidence in their bodys and they want good, cool, nice things to make up for things that they think is bad.
