The turning point in this section of the book was when Curley started a fight with poor old Lennie who wanted nothing to do with him. By the end of the fight Curley was in a fetal position on the floor with a messed up hand. Curley is higher on the hierarchy of the farm compared to Lennie so this fight could have lost them their job or caused there dream to not come true.
" Then Curley's rage exploded."
I think that Steinbeck wrote the paragraph using juxtaposition to show the contrast between all the characters and how different they really are. The paragraphs shows the size difference between the men and goes deeper into showing who they are as a person. A great example of this is when Curley a relatively small guy is attacking a big guy: Lennie who doesn't want to fight back.
