George is the type of person who is temperamental and combative, but also very compassionate. He is also extremely insensitive to Lennie’s mental disability which allows his aggravation get a hold on him. One of George’s imperfections is he does not have much tolerance with Lennie. One example of this in the book is in the beginning of the novel when George and Lennie were going to the

Instead of internalizing all of fears and the disappointment he is scared to receive for his actions, they being to haunt him. When George appears, he is really happy to see him because George makes him feels like he’s better than that, and takes the fear he has away and gives him the idea of a bright future, which is something a friend should

In this work of literature, George Milton 's faced with a situation of what is right and wrong and which inner sense to listen to. George 's long time friend and mentally handicapped friend Lennie Smalls has just killed Curley 's wife, inside of a barnyard accidentally. Lennie attempts to run away from the whole situation, but George knows exactly where he will be, and that is at the exact spot he told him to go to if there was trouble. As George arrives at the river Lennie was instructed to go to, George realizes he has a great problem, should he kill his long time best friend and save him from the swarming angry mob of ranchers, or turn him in and let them have there way. As George 's inner senses battle, he realizes what he must do and that is to put Lennie out of his misery and self entrapment and set him free once and for all. George makes Lennies death quick and painless as any good friend would, but he can not seem to shake the sense of guilt and anguish he is experiencing. As George lovingly kills Lennie he portrays his bravery and sense of what is right and wrong all by listening to what his inner senses and consciousness led him towards. John Steinbecks use of literary terms enhances the sense of bravery and drama that this scene of a friend killing another brings. The mood that John Steinbeck sets for George 's attitude towards Lennie is

Although Lennie is the only source of love in his life, he restrains George from being able to settle down and find a stable job. In the beginning of the book, George and Lennie are forced to flee their town and job due to an accident Lennie had with a little girl. Because Lennie has mental restrictions, he doesn’t understand what’s right and wrong, which makes him very hard for George to control. Even though he is good at heart and doesn’t intentionally do things to hurt people, he is still a weight on George’s shoulders. “God a’mighty, if I was alone I could live so easy. I could go get a job and work, an’ no trouble.” (Page 89, par. 2). This is a quote from George showing his frustrations from this weight on his shoulders, Lennie, who is holding him back from succeeding and doing what he wants to do. Similarly, Ethan Frome is held back from not only moving and being happy, but also from being with the woman he truly loves, because of his wife Zeena. Zeena married Ethan at the age of 28, after the death of his mother. Ethan wanted to move away from Starkfield, but Zeena would not budge. Her illnesses acted as a money vacuum and an excuse for her to waste money on expensive visits to doctors at a time when Ethan was

Killing Lennie was of the worst things he ever made, the guilt was killing him on the inside, i was driving him insane. George’s situation couldn`t make him stop remembering Lennie, the best friend he ever had eventhough he had to take care of him just like a little kid, Lennie was really important for him. A week after, George tried to work normally, he was becoming more mentally unstable, he couldn’t do anything anymore. His productivity was decreasing each day, but his inner voice told him to keep working and accomplishing his only dream of having a ranch and to accomplish Lennie’s desired dream. Working

George may have killed his best friend, but it was done in love and devotion. George promised Lennie’s Aunt Clara that he would take care of him. In which, he did so, until Lennie was no longer capable to be taken care of and was out of control. George’s devotion is also shown in the fact that he would do anything to keep Lennie out of trouble. For example, when the incident that happened in Weed occurred, George did everything he could to get him and Lennie out of there and to safety. Another way George would keep Lennie out of trouble was by taking charge and talking for him so Lennie could not say anything that could potentially prevent them from getting something they want. A situation in which George takes charge is when him and Lennie have to go talk to the boss and George tells Lennie, “‘...Now, look-- I’ll give him the work tickets, but you ain’t gonna say a word. You jus’ stand there and don’t say nothing. If he finds out what a crazy bastard you are, we won’t get no job, but if he sees ya work before he hears ya talk, we’re set. Ya got that?’” (Steinbeck 6). This backfires when Curley asks Lennie, “‘ You they new guys the old man

Throughout the novel, George expels a great deal of energy in attempt to prevent Lennie from ever feeling scared or alone and therefore he feels compelled to remain by Lennie’s side even as he faces his final moments on earth.
