In today's society typically strong relationships will take years to develop, whereas in Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, they choose to get married just after two days of knowing each other. But in Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck George and Lennie are really close friends for a long time before they think ahead about new things in the future. They get along and have learned to get to know each other throughout the past years.

This was just something that George did for the better and it happened in both stories, but this one had a better relationship throughout their time together. “Ah, Juliet, if the measure of thy joy, be heaped like mine, and that thy skill be more...But my true love is grown to such excess I cannot sum up sum of half my wealth.” (Act 2, Scene 6, Line 24) Although Romeo and Juliet's relationship may have been infatuation they still did say that they loved each other and how much they meant to one another.
