John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men is about two migrant workers, George and Lennie, from California during the great depression. George and Lennie fled from Weed after Lennie unknowingly grabbed and held onto a woman’s dress and he was accused of rape. The men made their way towards a new farm where they planned to make a stake and eventually buy a small plot of land where they would live by themselves. George and Lennie both expected a similar outcome from their new job, but they had different motives and intentions.
Lennie was a huge man whose size seemed almost fictional: he was built like an ox and towered above everyone else he met. Contrary to what his size portrays, Lennie was not very intimidating and he tried to be kind to people and animals alike. Unfortunately, Lennie had the mental capacity of a small child and often didn’t realize when he was doing wrong or causing harm. This deficiency causes him to be very impulsive, and he has accidentally killed many mice and even a small dog. Lennie’s disability makes him great at following orders but he is less than capable of forming his own plan of action. The plan Lennie was ultimately seeking to complete was of a dream farm; this plan—first proposed by George—consisted of George and Lennie living off the land and Lennie taking care of all the needs of the rabbits they were soon to own. Lennie occasionally felt like he was a burden to this plan, and he would threaten to run off to the hills and live in a cave. Lennie
