Comparing George And Lennie In John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

Lennie is mentally disabled and so always ‘does bad things’, because of this, he constantly depends on George to protect him and get him out of trouble. For example, in Weed, Lennie constantly ‘wants to touch

I could also notice when I was reading through the first chapter that George has a sense of authority over Lennie, “you gonna get that wood”. This is like a parent telling a child to do his chores. On some occasions though George shows a bit of hatred towards Lennie, he thinks of what he could have if Lennie wasn’t around and contrasts that with George.

Lennie is a very misunderstood individual. He has some sort of mental issue that makes his life different than normal. Lennie has a thing for soft fluffy things, he likes to hold them and pet them. Most of the time these soft things end up dead which Lennie tries his hardest to keep from George when this happens. George once found a dead mouse in Lennie’s pocket that he had been keeping there for 3 whole days after it died (Lisca). Lennie is a giant of a man. He does not understand how much power he has. This causes a lot of the mistakes he makes. George is there most of the time to correct or stop Lennie from doing these things. There are sometimes when George is not there to stop him and Lennie gets them both into trouble. The two have had to move several times because of Lennie (McMurray). In fact every time they have had to leave a place was because of Lennie’s actions. There was one thing Lennie got them in and they could not run from it. Lennie was in the barn and Curley’s wife came in. He wanted to touch her hair and he ended up rubbing it too hard. She yelled for help and he wanted her to shut up so he

In John Steinbeck's novel, “Of Mice and Men,” we meet two best friends that travel together. Both total opposites, George is the smaller, yet smarter one and Lennie is bigger, but mentally challenged. Lennie gets both of them into bad situations, that led Lennie to his death. In my opinion, Lennie worshipped everything George said and George felt bad for him. Their relationship cost george to lose the dream him and Lennie both made together, also, Lennie didn't have as much freedom because he was always getting in trouble and that cost George to waste his time solely on Lennie.

Lennie on the other hand isn’t really all there in the head like George. Lennie is special, but a really big guy that doesn’t mean to do any bad towards anyone or anything. Lennie looks to George for everything and listens to George on what he says. Lennie doesn’t realize how strong he is and every time

The book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is the tale of two men, George and Lennie, who are friends and laborers in the fields of California. They are recovering from the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl and struggling to find work and money. George is small and smart; quite the opposite of Lennie, who is large in size and infantile in his thoughts. Lennie, once left alone by his late Aunt Clara,has been under George’s care since.
