Have you even read a story where the evens make you feel more sorry for one character over the others. In Of Mice and Men there are so many things that could easily make you feel sorry for the people of the story. The character I feel most sorry for is Lennie because he has a mental disability, he doesn’t understand his strength, and the way he dies. One reason I feel most sorry for Lennie is because of his mental disability. He can’t think for himself, and therefore does whatever is told. For example, in the story when Candy was hitting him he looked to George to tell him what to do (Steinbeck 63). He isn’t sure what he should do because he can’t think for himself. Lennie’s disability keeps him from thinking for himself. Secondly, I feel most sorry for Lennie because he doesn’t understand his strength. He wants to pet the mice but he pets too hard and kills them. George scoffed, “Lady huh? Don’t even remember who that lady was. That was your own Aunt Clara. An she stopped givin’ ‘em to ya. You always killed ‘em.”(Steinbeck 9) He doesn’t realize when he’s working, the things that take two men to do he can do alone. He has this unbelievable strength he doesn’t even realize.
