“So you forgot awready, did you? I gotta tell you again, do I? Jesus Christ, you’re a crazy bastard” Steinbeck 4). George and Lennie are two men who travel together from job to job and have a history together, but they have to run away from a lot of problems, though most are caused by Lennie. Lennie, one of the main characters from Mice of Men, does not always understand the world around him, and is a static and round character who is mentally like a child.
Throughout the book and everything that Lennie did or that happened to him, he still remains the innocent and joyful character he always has been. Although he may not be innocent to the people who do not know him well, truly he did not know or understand the situations, “like what happened …show more content…
Clean forgot I told him to jump in”(Steinbeck 40). Lennie could not remember the fact that George is the one who nearly caused him to drown, and he had no idea what had just happened so, his gratitude towards him was pure . Not long after, when Lennie tried to sneak in the pup, Slim told George, “He’s just like a kid ain’t he”(Steinbeck 41). Physically, Lennie is a huge, strong man, but mentally he appears to function like a child. This also relates to possibly one of his bad traits, his lack of sense.
In Weed, “[Lennie] reaches out to feel this red dress an’ the girl lets out a squawk...and he holds on ‘cause that’s the only thing he can think to do”(Steinbeck 41). Another one of his bad traits would be his forgetfulness, “I forgot,’ Lennie said softly, ‘I tried not to forget”(Steinbeck 4), although he can remember important things to him, like George’s opinion and situations that involve the rabbits, almost everything else he only vaguely remembers or not at all. Lennie has good traits, too, for example, Lennie is obedient and he, “ain’t a bit mean”(Steinbeck 41). Lennie only sees the good in people unless George says otherwise.
In conclusion, Lennie is a constant character, has multiple traits to define him, and cannot always keep up with the world around
