How Is Lennie Presented In Of Mice And Men

In the novel Of Mice of Men, George Milton was forced to care for a man with the brain of a child. The man’s name was Lennie Small. George acted like a father rather than a friend to Lennie. George was never able to embrace Lennie’s good qualities. Instead, George focused on his bad ones and looked at Lennie as someone who was useless to him. Lennie was much more than that, but George could not see past it. George showed no compassion toward Lennie and hardly cared about how he felt. Thus, George was not a good friend to Lennie because he did some things behind his back, yelled at him constantly, and bossed him around.

Because of the infantile and trivial characteristics of which Lennie is portrayed with in the first chapter of Of Mice and Men, the author, John Steinbeck, is deemed unsuccessful to exemplify Lennie as one to feel sympathy towards. It is only within a few pages of this novella that we begin to feel a bit of disapprobation towards Lennie's actions. This being when "His hand went into the pocket again. George looked sharply at him. 'What'd you take outa that pocket?' 'Ain't a thing in my pocket,' Lennie said cleverly."(Page 3) Immediately after reviewing this quote, Lennie's primary goal became quite obvious. This goal being that he is trying to instigate George, his acquaintance, into committing acts of frustration for his own amusement. This is especially emphasized when Steinbeck uses

The trigger was pulled, which sent a loud bang followed by Lennie dropping down, saving someone from death. George was right to put down Lennie. It was the most peaceful way. Lennie has killed or harmed many animals that were innocent and even Curley’s wife an innocent girl. George can now stop running. George was telling Lennie about their dream farm and what Lennie likes the most, it was also something quick and painless. Lennie liked to pet soft things are not meaning to harm them. George can work without worrying about someone else to take care of.

The human body is intruiging because it acts involuntarily and subconciously; thus, occasionally revealing our inner thoughts via movement. Involuntary and subconcious movement, such as fidgeting and licking one’s lips can divulge secrets. Likewise, John Steinbeck develops the word “ranch-hand” by revealing key components about each character within Of Mice and Men via hand description. Particularly, Steinbeck develops Lennie’s character by descriptive means.

Mental handicapped people don't have the same rights as other humans in the world. If one were to get in trouble with the law they wouldn’t have the same punishment as someone that wasn't handicapped. A mentally handicapped person knows right from wrong if taught correctly. In the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck even though Lennie is a handicapped person, he should be responsible for his own actions because he knows right from wrong, he has his own mind, and he had the same human rights as other people. One reason Lennie should be held responsible for his actions are because he was taught the right way by George.

Lennie has problems, but he killed someone so he should have the same punishment as anyone else. If George didn’t kill Lennie he would have died either way, because everyone else wanted him dead. “Never you mind.” said Slim. “ A guy got to sometimes” (Steinbeck 53). This quotes means, sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Slim was saying it was the best thing for Lennie and everyone else. Another reason George did it was because Lennie would have kept killing people. Every pet Lennie had he killed and he killed Curley’s Wife.

As a result of Lennies short attention span and absence of focus aside from the exception of lovely delicate soothing things, he gets into inconvenience either on the grounds that he doesn't listen to guidelines and does the opposite of what hes told, and/or in light of the fact that he doesn't listen to people, for example; Curley thinks he is being ignorant deliberately for instance “What the hell you laughin’ at?” Lennie looked blankly at him, “Huh?” Lennie was in his own particular minimal world thinking about rabbits as Curley got all up in his face as he thought Lennie was ridiculing him.
