All right you want an answer, you got it. See, Candy got caught up in Lenny and George's business; he wanted a piece of the dream they shared. Lenny's death shattered Candy's dreams. You see, we all get caught up in a fantasy of how we want life to be - we do this to ourselves all the time
We only see a small fraction of reality, and that's the thing. You fill in the blanks with your imagination; and however you fill in those blanks, you're going to be inaccurate. Reality fills in the blanks, at least much more than our actions do. The result is ironic because it ends up being starkly different from what we originally believed.

It's kinda odd. Steinbeck makes a mention of how troubled and unhappy Curley's wife was in life. Candy was living out his dream of working on the farm with George and Lennie, but after the death of Curley's wife, he realizes that his dream can never come true, and reverts back into the harsh reality. After the death of Curley's wife, Steinbeck mentions how sweet and innocent and happy she looked in death. It's kind of a role reversal.
