How Does Lennie Change In Of Mice And Men

Candy is presented by Steinbeck as a pitiful miserable character. Candy has lost control of his life and of his future and has been reduced by society to a gossiping cleaner. The only characterisation we receive about Candy and other characters is through their speech. Candy is given new confidence when he speaks negatively of Curley’s wife. He enjoys the audience of George and relishes the sense of power, in that he knows more about the ranch than George.

Lennie is attached to George because he needs him to survive but George also has an attachment to Lennie because he is terrified of living without him since he had always never had to focus on anyone else when he was with Lennie because of how consuming Lennie was therefore George will stick with Lennie through everything in life for a sense of security. Lennie and George were inseparable, and anyone from an outside perspective could see that. When George and Lennie first interview with the new boss, we can see George's protectiveness over Lennie as he answers all of the questions for him. On page 21, every time the boss tries to talk to Lennie, George answers for him. The boss says “You too” to Lennie while asking him about his previous work at Weed.

In the Salinas River Valley, after the Great Depression, there were a large number of unemployed workers seeking jobs. In the fiction novel "Of Mice and Men," by John Steinbeck, Lennie Small is among one of those men. Lennie and his friend George both have just received jobs on a ranch as farm workers. What brings the two together is their dream to someday own their own land. Lennie has a lot of character and personality traits that define him. One trait that he has is he is very forgetful. Another trait he has is he is very curious. A final trait he has is that he is very reliant. Although he might not be the intelligent person in the book, he has a very well developed personality. Lennie demonstrates his personality and character

In John Steinbeck’s work, Of Mice and Men, Lennie is compared to an animal multiple times which degrades from his sense of humanity and leads to a greater gap between George and himself causing Lennie to become almost nothing to the reader, and to the other characters in the story as well. While George has sharp figures and is precisely described, Lennie is shown as more animalistic, and not really given a lot of traits and characteristics. Also, the other people in the ranch/farm approach Lennie with fear and caution.

Emily P. In the story Of Men and Mice, Steinbeck writes about the journey that two men named Lennie and George take together. George is a strong willed, little, smart, natural born leader. Lennie is a big man, who is forgetful, irresponsible, and clueless. It’s hard for Lennie to understand basic concepts like death.

“I ought to of shot that dog myself, George. I shouldn’t ought to of let no stranger shoot my dog.” (Steinbeck pg 61) Steinbeck included this quote to foreshadow that George was going to shoot Lennie. It also helps justifies his reasoning for shooting him because George was not going to let a stranger kill Lennie. Lennie was a strong and useful man when it came to work, but he had the mind of a child. He could not survive without George because he did not understand what was to far and, was always getting into trouble without even knowing it. Near the end of the book, Lennie, in bewilderment, accidently killed Mr. Curley’s wife. After that incident, George knew that if he did not kill Lennie then he would suffer. So, even though some say George did not make the right decision by killing Lennie, it was the better option because prison life would

Everyone has had a caretaker or guardian to protect and care for them at some period in time. Developing into an adult is often times when a person becomes able to live independently. However, this is not the case for Lennie Small from the story, “Of Mice and Men” as a result of his disability. Being dependant on other people, Lennie needs a caretaker because of the lack of family to protect him. Someone without family relation, George, rises to the position as his caretaker in the harsh, unforgiving circumstances they have at the moment. Dreaming of a better future, George has to carry Lennie from job to job in order to eventually collect enough money to finally claim their land as their own. George has good, honest intentions for Lennie and only strives to give him the best conditions even if it meant he had to pull the trigger against him.

The character I choose to analyze for this story is Lennie. Lennie is a nice, huge man who always follows his beloved friend, Gorge, everywhere. The personality of Lennie is of a young kid who conveys the reader with the feeling of innocence and liveliness. Lennie is one of the most important characters in this story. The existence of Lennie has inspired hope to other characters in many different ways. For example, because of Lennie, George and Candy have hope for their secure future; because of Lennie, Crooks and Curley’s wife can have someone to talk to and not being discriminated by their race or gender, and because of Lennie, the reader can laugh and smile at his innocent, yet adorable character, despite the lonely theme of this story about migrant

In Mice And Men, there are a variety of characters that have many different personalities. Some are mean, kind, and there are some that are just plain jerks. One character in particular that has a distinct personality in Mice And Men, is Lennie. Lennie is misjudged, underestimated, and treated unfairly just because he has a mental disability. Society and many different characters treat him differently in the book.

In conclusion, I believe that overall in the novella Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck ,George was not a good friend to Lennie. George did take care of Lennie but,in my point of view, not because he actually cared for Lennie.George never once mentions how he cares for Lennie or how much he loves his companionship but does mention how easy life would be without him and if if they were related he would kill himself .Yes George looked over him and stuck by him but in most cases Lennie would have been better of being with someone

In the story Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck shows the protagonist of the story Lennie, as a sympathetic character. In the book, Lennie, a big strong guy and his friend George are on a journey away from their home town Weed, to a job on a ranch. Lennie is not the sharpest knife in the drawer and makes many mistakes. George and Lennie already had to leave their town from a mistake that Lennie made, holding on to a girls soft dress because he liked the feel of it. On the ranch, the boys are hoping to make just enough money to buy their own piece of land and live off of it. But after Lennie accidentally murdered his bosses wife from touching her hair because it was soft, he ran away. He didn’t know how to handle his strength abilities. Everyone on the ranch wanted to kill him but George didn’t so George killed him to protect Lennie. Since Lennie is clueless, forgetful, and has remorse for his actions, he has trouble getting his way through life and makes many mistakes on accident. Not understanding a lot of things makes Lennie seem like an innocent and dumb-witted character.

In my opinion, Lennie Small is the most interesting character in Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men. Steinbeck does a very good job describing and characterizing Lennie's personality. Lennie's character is, indeed, quite unique. A large man with enormous strength, yet kind and childlike, he seems to find joy in simple life pleasures like petting a furry animal and making the water ripple. Lennie's greatest difficulty seems to be remembering; and it is the lack of the ability to remember that ultimately leads to his tragedy at the end of the book. In the novel, Steinbeck seems to reinforce Lennie's characteristics of strength, kindness, childlike manner, and somewhat animal-like personality.

Lennie is the most sympathetic character in Of Mice and Men because he’s not very bright when it comes to things and happens to forget a lot. As George and Lennie are walking to go to a new ranch George asked Lennie

The parallels between Lennie and George’s relationship and the relationship that their workmate, Candy had with his dog reaffirm the power dynamic between George and Lennie. In the novella, Candy must kill his dog because it is old and weak. Candy felt such extreme regret when it came time to kill his dog, that instead of doing

Lennie Small has a very symbolic importance in the novel Of Mice and Men. In the novel George Milton and Lennie Small both migrant workers pursue their dream of someday owning their own ranch by travelling around working as ranch hands to earn a living. The dream they share is to be able to "live off the fat of the land,". Lennie Small is a very complex character, although he may not appear to be at first glance. Lennie is the most interesting character in the novel because he differs from the other is many ways. Lennie Small ironically is a man of large stature and is very strong. He is child-like in his emotions and has a diminished mental capacity. Lennie's feelings are much like that of a normal person when you take into
