Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

this article focuses on the obvious elements of social protest in the novel from the Marxist perspective: the plight of migrant workers, a theme that is later developed more fully in Stainbeck’s masterpiece the Grapes of Wrath (1939); racial discrimination and the social prejudice towards women. Elements of social protest, however, are slight when compared with the more universal message of the story, a lack underscored by the fact that the characters have no visible social awareness of their situation and the cause-source for that. Therefore, the article goes into further study on the cause-source for the miserable situation of the migrant workers and other lower-class people. It comes to the conclusion that the social system is to blame and be responsible for the sufferings of the characters. Key words: John Steinbeck, Of Mice and Men, Marxist perspective, social protest Resume: Ce texte se focalise sur les elements evidents de la protestation sociale dans la nouvelle dans une perspective marxiste : la situation difficile des travailleurs migrants , un theme qui est ensuite develppe plus profondement dans le chef-d’oeuvre 《the Grapes of Wrath》(1939) de John Stainbeck ; la discrimination de race et le prejuge social envers les femmes . De toute facon , la protestation sociale des elements sont legeres par rapport au message universel de l’histoire , la manque soulignee par le fait que les heros ne sont pas visiblement conscients de leur situation ainsi que la cause-source . Par consequent , ce texte fait des etues plus approfondies sur la cause-source de la situation miserable des travailleurs-migrants , et les antres gens les plus demunis de la societe . Il conclut enfin que le systeme social se doit etre critique et qu’il est responsible pour la souffrance des heros . mots-cles: John Steinbeck, De Mice and Men, perspective marxiste, protestation sociale

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
