Abstract: Given a singular projective variety in some projective space, we characterize the smooth curves contracted by the Gauss map in terms of normal bundles. As a consequence, we show that if the variety is normal, then a contracted line always has local obstruction for the embedded deformation and each component of the Hilbert scheme where the line lies is non-reduced everywhere.
