George is a great way to express the theme of relationships.When George and Lennie first showed up at the farm, George was only friends with Lennie. I use the term friend loosely with those two in the beginning, George was basically the master of Lennie. He didn't care at all about the other workers. By they time they leave, George is friends with many of the ranch hands. They even invited him to their horseshoe tournament. After the tournament, some events transpire that set in motion a grave outcome. George stated “Listen to me, you crazy bastard, Don't you even take a look at that bitch. I don't care what she says and what she does. … You leave her be." (page 16 ), This shows that George doesn't even trust Lennie not to mess up and do something
