The Complexity Of George And Minnie, By John Steinbeck

Lennie has his mind set on one thing. That is getting out of the barn and getting his own piece of land with George. This dream motivates Lennie to always listen and follow what George says. There he can finally tend the rabbits he has always wanted. Lennie loves petting things such as small animals and dresses which usually leads him to trouble.

Strong friendships have the power to make people’s lives better. George and Lennie travel together and eventually live together, resulting in a strong bond between them. George cares for Lennie and he makes sure

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

Any good person does not want to watch a friend to be hurt, and George is no exception. George is most worried for Lennie when Curley says ‘“i’m gonna shoot the guts outta that big dumb bastard myself, even if i only got one hand.”’ (steinbeck 48). this is when Curley, Slim and Carlson are getting together to find Lennie and hurt him and kill him. George thought

The author John Steinbeck presents the relationship between the two characters, George and Lennie in different ways as they are both different characters and have different personalities. He presents it like a parent and child relationship, with George being the parent and Lennie the child.

Although they have no blood relation, George’s supportive nature towards Lennie illustrates their family-like connection. It is absurd to even ponder upon the possibility that George would purposely harm Lennie. His sole intention for this killing was the prevention of a cruel murder.

George and Lennie were best friends. They were always together, and were always there for each other. Later in the book, we find out that they want to buy a farm together. George told Lennie he could help with the rabbits. As you see, they even had a future planned out. Some may say them being friends doesn’t matter, and it is better than a stranger killing

Considering the close friendship between Lennie and George, I think they are pretty much inseparable. Lennie causes a lot of trouble for George, like killing things easily because of his strength, but George never left Lennie to live by himself. I think George knows that without Lennie, he would be isolated and lonely. I think the relationship between Lennie and George can definitely make connections to problems in the real world. Dealing with loneliness

One of the most obvious loyal character relationships is between George and Lennie. Their bond goes above and beyond the typical extent of faithfulness. George is constantly by Lennie’s side throughout the highs and lows of their unusual lifestyle. Not only does he demonstrate loyalty through being faithful, respectful, and trustworthy, but he also makes a sacrifice for the greater good of Lennie, when he takes Lennie’s life. In the seconds leading up to Lennie’s death, Steinbeck writes “And George raised the gun and steadied it, and he brought the muzzle of it close to the back of Lennie's head…He pulled the trigger.” (Steinbeck 52) This is arguably the greatest display of loyalty in the entire book, because George is willing to take his long time

“Slim said “ya hadda George, I swear ya hadda”.”(Pg. 107) It was clear by the end of the book that George only had one way to protect Lennie from his problems, which were rapidly increasing. “And George raised the gun and steadied it, and he brought the muzzle of it close to the back of Lennie’s head. The hand should violently but his face set and his hand steadied. He pulled the trigger.”(Pg. 106) Only one thing stood in between Curly and Lennie, and that was George. Even though George treats Lennie kindly and with an open heart, his image portrayed to the other characters was still a small fighter.

<br>A reader can understand very vividly from his actions and attitudes that George is sensible and able to think quickly in a situation. He seems to have a very good understanding of the nature of others, especially of their attitudes towards Lennie, for example, that if the boss hears Lennie talk and realises his handicapped, then it is unlikely they will get work. He also knows, to make Lennie repeat things two or three times over to himself, to help him remember, for example when he slowly repeats, "Hide in the brush till I come for you, can you remember that?" to Lennie. He also knows that Lennie is likely to do things and attempt to hide them, such as when Lennie appears from his walk in the woods, and is immediately suspected of smuggling a dead

George and Lennie are always sticking together through thick and thin as they are they only have each other. In this time period of the Great Depression, it is hard to find someone to stick with and be friends. Everyone is trying to fend for themselves since it is hard to find a good job. Lennie trusts George enough to stay with him and although Lennie is hard to handle, George is willing to stay with him and take care of him. In the first scene of the book, while they are sitting and taking a break together, Lennie mimicks George just like a little brother would mimic a big brother.

Nobody would have ever assumed George would do something so horrid. However, he seemed to have been persuaded by Curley and Slim to kill Lennie because of what he had done. So even though George may seem like a really kind, loving person, he does have a really awful side to

George and Lennie have a true friendship because they support each other. They have each other's best interest at heart, and even though Lennie is mentally disabled, George does not give up on him.

But because he and Lennie have known eachother for so long George feels responsible for Lennie and fears Lennie won’t survive without him. In chapter one George expresses his hopes and dreams when he
