George devotes a lot of his time to Lennie because without him Lennie would be getting into a lot of trouble. He makes plans for himself and Lennie and tries to make their dreams come true. George always has to take care of Lennie and keep him out of trouble because he does a lot of stupid things. Once when they were in the town Weed Lennie grabbed onto a woman's dress and didn’t let go because he liked how it felt and then got scared when she started screaming. Near the end of the book, George had to make a tough decision to take Lennie's life so he wouldn’t be tortured when he accidentally killed Curley’s wife.

Come on with me.’ He led George into the entrance of the trail and up toward the highway.” Slim is only trying to make things better and sadly there's not much more he can do. After Lennie dies George began to feel lonely very quickly and begins to open up by questioning if what he did was wrong just like Candy did with his dog.
