Differences Between John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

Lennie starts having a conversation to Crooks, but he keeps babbling about the promises to keep their farm a secret. George is basically the brain of Lennie, without him he'll be in trouble.

After Lennie has inadvertently murdered Curley’s wife, Curley’s lynch mob go out in search of Lennie. George’s decision is almost inevitable to spare Lennie’s life, rather than let Curley and his gang destroy the bit of life Lennie has.

The reason why boss finds George and Lennie suspicious is because George does the most of the talk for Lennie. “Let the big guy talk” (pg 25) Another reason why the boss find George and Lennie suspicious is because they say that they are cousins, which they are not. “ He’s my ... cousin I told his old lady I’d take care of him.” (pg12). My last reason why boss find George and Lennie suspicious is because George said that their job is done and they had to find a new job. “The job was done” (pg 27).

Meanwhile Lennie was hurting Curley’s wife she was yelling so he said to her “Don’t you go yellin’” he repeatedly says this. After Lennie had killed Curley’s wife it then caused conflict between many people. For example Curley was very angry with Lennie for killing her. Lennie was also angry with Curley’s wife because if it wasn’t for her screaming then he would not have dreamed of killing her. It was also a problem for George because he has to kill Lennie for murdering Curley’s wife. Because Lennie had killed her it meant that he must die. This was the most biggest conflict in the

First off George Milton, in his appearance he is small, and smart. George has to be the leader always; he has to be a step ahead just in case something goes wrong. He is the provider, because without George, Lennie would not survive. George knows that, which puts a tremendous amount of pressure and stress on George which he talks about how life would be without Lennie. Without Lennie, George would be lonely and in a way Lennie motivates George. They both have the dream to get enough money, and having their on farm. The dream motivates George that, maybe one day that will eventually come true, but in the mean time George has to keep Lennie safe.

George had finally realized that his actions were harmful to Lennie and because of this realization, he had changed, George was much more aware of Lennie’s childish behaviors and went easier on him, and got him out of a lot of trouble although he still was a little abusive and rude. But George’s new treatment towards Lennie gets makes him lose all of his jobs, “You can’t keep a job and you lose me ever’ job I get. Jus’ keep me shovin’ all over the country all the time” (11). George’s relationship and attitude towards Lennie changed as time went, so naturally, it changed again while the two worked at their new jobs on the

Curley shows how he uses his strength and position to achieve his desire to dominate the working men that he considers to be a threat due to their size; Lennie being a clear example. It is due to Curley’s lack of height that his desire for dominance and control derives from.

Over the course of the story, John Steinbeck is attempting to show that the relationship that George and Lennie have is one that can be hard to understand at certain times. Sometimes, George is very nice to Lennie, whereas at other times, it appears as if he doesn't want anything to do with him. Both of the men

Lennie and George had a strong friendship. No matter how many mistakes Lennie made, George was always there to cover it up. However, when Lennie made a mistake that was not his fault George decides to do what benefitted hisself the most. That is classified as betrayal. It was always supposed to be George and Lennie against everyone else but things got a little tough for George so he just “ended” all his problems. Some might say friendship isn’t important in this situation, but it is. George and Lennie could have got out of this situation together.

Curley is a man in a different way from George. He is still quick and thin, but he is also angry. He feels inadequate as a man. The other characters attack his masculinity constantly, repeating that he’s “keeping his hand soft for his wife.” By attacking his sexuality, they are attacking him as a man. Curley thinks that if he beats Lennie he can satisfy his need to prove himself, but when his hand is crushed, so is his

When discussion moves to the bus tickets and work cards Lennie realises that he doesn’t have his. “He looked down at the ground in despair” which shows that he is ashamed and perhaps a little frightened of George’s reaction, but Steinbeck then goes on to say that George took responsibility for both of the work cards, knowing that Lennie could not be trusted. This, again, demonstrates the balance of power and shows that both George and Lennie are aware of how much power the other possesses.

I could also notice when I was reading through the first chapter that George has a sense of authority over Lennie, “you gonna get that wood”. This is like a parent telling a child to do his chores. On some occasions though George shows a bit of hatred towards Lennie, he thinks of what he could have if Lennie wasn’t around and contrasts that with George.

George and Lennie are different from everyone else on the farm. Lennie has a disability. George has been kicked from multiple jobs, thanks to Lennie. Well, it does mention that Lennie has a disability but not of what kind. Lennie was accused of rapeing a girl after trying to feel the girl’s soft red velvet dress. George had to drag Lennie out of there and had to look for a new job. Lennie has a disorder causing him to have many problems,while with George, it is ruining George’s reputation at other job

Lennie and George are the ones with the most stable relationship. George, poor and homeless, and Lennie, with all that plus his challenged mental, are ones that can hardly be thought to be happy in their society. However, they are more to the happy side. The existence of a partner makes them go to the happier side. They have been together for a

George and Lennie are two characters in the novel that stick by each other. They are migrant workers that have to travel to find labour. They are examples of characters that are attached to their dreams and are determined to make them become a reality. George and Lennie both see the same dream; however Lennie is only concerned about one thing.
