The character of Lennie Small, though his age, is extremely childlike. He is quite submissive, and becomes fixated on ideas or what he is doing. Lennie does what he is told, allowing George to dictate how he behaves. When Curley begins to attack him, he starts crying, but reacts and fights back when George tells him to. He seizes Curley’s hand, and even as he is getting yelled at to let go, he does not release, and must be pried off of Curley.…
Are we our brother’s keeper? Throughout the book Of Mice and Men, George and Lennie are almost like brothers because they are so close. George and Lennie always look out for each other even though they don’t have too. Their friendship is unbreakable and they are always there for each other.…
Their relationship is that they are friends and they are nice to each other. George takes care of Lennie so that he won't get in trouble. Evidence that supports that is in paragraph 20 where it says "Well, look. Lennie- if you jus' happen to get in trouble like you always done before, I want you to come right here an' hide in the brush". He also makes sure Lennie doesn't say anything to the boss so he won't get in trouble.…
Knowing that Lennie never meant to hurt anyone, George could’ve thought of a way to protect his friend. Although George abruptly ended Lennie’s life in John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men” so that he wouldn’t have to pass cruelly or painfully from somebody else, there still could’ve been some sort of way for the story to have not resulted in such a tragic death. These men were still incredibly protective of one another and they gave each other their trust until the end of the story when George had made the decision to let all of that go…

Although Lennie Small is the character most people think of whenever Of Mice and Men is mentioned, it is George Milton who is the true protagonist of the story. However, George Milton in the original text is not the classic “good guy.” His most notable flaw is his treatment of Lennie. George comes off as impatient and easily frustrated with Lennie, which raises the question if he merely puts up with Lennie or genuinely cares for him? In the 1992 film adaptation, there is no doubt that George deeply cares for Lennie due to additional scenes not in the book and the pathos portrayed by the actor.…
On the surface level, this quote just shows Lennie's anger at himself after killing a puppy. He is mad at himself for killing this small animal that he was so excited to have as a pet. With Lennie's strength and interest in feeling textures, he commonly kills small animals like the mice his aunt used to give him. The mice and puppy symbolize the victory of strength over weakness. The small mouse and puppy are small innocent animals.…
Buddhist tradition teaches us that some friendships are so strong that they can transcend lifetimes. This proverb can be easily connected to the relationship of George and Lennie in Of Mice and Men. The relationship between George and Lennie is one of true unity and understanding as a result of a mutual emotional dependence on the other in the face if the brutality of the Great Depression. The relationship of George Milton and Lennie Small is certainly unique.…
George could have been well off without Lennie, but still continues to care and support him. They have one another to talk to, be with, and look after. ‘With us it ain’t like that. We got a future.…
Throughout the story Of Mice and Men George is verbally abusive to Lennie. Lennie and George are walking to the ranch where they will soon work. Lennie then realized he could not find…
In the novella, Of Mice and Men I believe that George was a good friend to Lennie. Friendship is when you are by someone's side, through thick and thin. George and Lennie were good examples of friendship because they were always by each others side, even though they may not have gotten along at times. Unfortunately, Lennie isn't so bright, so George has taken on the role of not only being his companion but his caretaker as well. In the novella George and Lennie have gotten into trouble a number of times, but this one time may or may not have depicted whether he was a good friend or not.…
Most people would do anything for their friend if they are loyal, and some might even die for their friend. In Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, Lennie and George's friendship is one of the main themes in the story. George makes sure Lennie has a good life and helps him when he gets in trouble and Lennie defends George when he thinks he's in danger. Although there are many hardships throughout the story, Lennie and George's friendship continues and they stay loyal to each…
I think George loves Lennie like a brother. From the things George does to keep Lennie safe we can infer that George is selfless, sympathetic, and patient. I personally loved the way Steinbeck used Lennie to develop characters around him. The way Steinbeck used three characters so vitaly in the novela, “Of mice and men”, to be shaped around Lennie was amazing. George showed he had come along way from where he began, Candy stays true to himself, and Curly is a stuck up prick.…
Lennie is like a little kid, he needs someone to guide him, so he is always looking up to George. Which is the reason why George is always controlling and bossing him around. Lennie is handicapped so he can not be left alone or do things by himself, giving George an advantage to make him do whatever he wants. George and Lennie do everything together, but George is the one who always makes the decisions. So Lennie has no choice but to follow him because without George, Lennie would be getting himself into a lot of trouble and would probably get himself killed.…
First off, Lennie is an uneasy character with a mental disability in the book Of Mice And Men. He stays with George throughout the book, but is not a stable companion. He does not fully understand the main ideas in life, and does not put them together as to what is right and what is wrong. He often mentions leaving George to go live in a cave because he feels as though he is bothering other people. George has to repeat many times what he has said because Lennie’s brain can not process what he is trying to tell him.…
