Lennie

Lennie's dream was to live on a farm with George and attend his rabbits. Although, Steinbeck wrote how rabbits secretly equals freedom, so when George killed Lennie, he was trying to help him get his freedom from everything that happened during the Great Depression. On page 81 it says, “Now I won’t get to tend the rabbits.” Lennie says this when he gets into trouble because Lennie wants George to let him take care of the rabbits on the farm they want to own.

In the beginning of the novel, George has little faith in their dream becoming a reality. Although, when George, Lennie, and Candy come up with a plan to purchase the ranch, George, and even the reader, gets their hopes up! Steinbeck foreshadows the loss of the farm dream when George tells Lennie a story about buying the ranch and what will be on it. “Lennie pleaded, ‘Come on, George. Tell me…. Like you done before….’ George’s voice became deeper… He repeated his words rhythmically…’We’re gonna… have a little house and a couple of acres… Nuts!... I ain’t got time for no more….’” ( John Steinbeck, Of Mice and Men, Chapter 1, Doc C). George says this because he has told this story many times before, and the more he repeats the story, the less he believes it. Another example of foreshadowing used to hint they won't get the ranch is when Lennie is in Crooks’ room. Lennie tells him about the farm they are getting, but Crooks’ doesn’t believe they will actually buy it.”’.... You’re nuts,’ Crooks was scornful. ‘I seen hundreds of men come by on the road an’ on the ranches, with bindles on their back an’ that same damn thing in their heads… every damn one of ‘em’s got a little piece of land in his head. An’ never a God damn one of ‘em ever gets it… You guys is just kiddin’ yourself. You’ll talk about it a hell of a lot, but you won’t get no land….’” (John Steinbeck, Of

Do you still remember why does Lennie wants George to talk about the farm the first time? George first introduce that fine-nice farm to us was mainly because Lennie's really want George to quote “Tell about what we're gonna have in the garden and about the rabbits in the cages and about the rain in the winter and the stove” unquote. For George and other workers like the old Candy, as I mentioned, the farm mainly symbolized as a chance of freedom, but for Lennie, since he is not smart enough, it is just as simple as the soft things that he enjoys feeling over the course of the years. However, as the old saying says “Every coin has two sides.” , behind the symbol of nice and lovely rabbits, we also know that Lennie always hurts whatever he pets.

Their dream also sets George apart from the others because it means he and Lennie have a future and something to anticipate. Unlike Lennie, George does not see their dream in terms of rabbits; instead, he sees it in a practical way. Their farm will be one where they can be independent and safe and where he will not have to worry about keeping track of Lennie 's mistakes. They can be secure and in charge of their own lives. However, Lennie is the one who adds the enthusiasm because George never really believed they could swing this farm of their own. He mostly uses the story to give Lennie something to believe in for their future. Only when Candy offers

In the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, Steinbeck makes Lennie a very sympathetic character because of his lack of intelligence, his kind heart and his large body type. In the book Of Mice and Men, 2 men Lennie and George search to find work so that one day they can accomplish the dream of owning a farm. Lennie and George go to do work on a ranch and they stay in a bunker with a couple other guys. Lennie and George's boss of the ranch is pretty tough on them and so is the boss's son Curley.

Lennie says to George, “Tell about what we’re gonna have in the garden and about the rabbits,” (14). Later in the story, Lennie is in the barn with Sometimes dreams don’t come true

Rabbits represent Lennie's dream of the farm. Throughout the story, Lennie is always looking forward to tending the rabbits and that is what he wants most from the farm, telling George, "Let's have different color rabbits, George. Furry ones, George, like I saw at the fair in Sacramento"(16). Lennie gets excited about the rabbits, and he loves daydreaming about them. Additionally, when Lennie accidentally kills his puppy, he tells himself, "Now I won't get to tend the rabbits.

Individuals have had to do something they do not want to do at least once in their lives. It could be something small, or something to a bigger extent. In the novel, Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, many characters struggle with loneliness because the novel is set during the Great Depression when many people found it difficult to make a living. This is one of the reasons why many readers find it odd that Lennie Small and George Milton travel together in these desperate times. George and Lennie look out for each other at every place they go. At the Tyler Ranch, Lennie’s disability causes him to get into trouble, big trouble. George has to make the toughest decision of his life: kill his friend or let him die a painful death. George decided to kill Lennie because he would not be able to allow Lennie to experience misery. George Milton did not kill Lennie Small out of hate, but out of friendship.

Are you really as lonely as you think you are? In Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, the two main characters Steinbeck focuses on, are George and Lennie. Lennie is very childish and cannot do things without someone to help him. George is very independent, but he looks after Lennie, and is like a father figure to Lennie. Lennie gets in trouble in there old town, so him and George leave town and go to find a new job. When they arrive at their new job, George tells lennie not to speak, so he doesn't blow their opportunity at this new job. After the ranchmen see Lennie work, they are very interested in having Lennie and George work on the ranch. Lennie later in the book, kills one of the worker's wives and runs away and hides. In Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, the book focuses on the idea of loneliness, 3 characters that portray loneliness are George, Crooks, and Candy.

Lennie is dim witted but still has conscious when he first got to the ranch he decided not be acquainted with Curly and instead take a liking to Candy. George and Candy say that George say that Lennie is just some dumb person who doesn't know at he's doing. Mostly, Lennie dreams about having different colored rabbits and in doing so it takes him away from the real world. John Steinbeck portray Lennie as this person who has a compulsive need to have rabbits. On page 28 Lennie said "An' rabbits," Lennie said eagerly. "An' I'd take care of 'em. Lennie's obsession for Rabbits affects the story because he's so fixated on them he has so little awareness is in the book with very little thought or comprehension of anything else. Lennie's obsession with rabbits doesn't affective his relationship with the character that much except with George, whenever they start or have a conversation it almost always comes back to Lennie bringing up the farm with a place for the rabbits and how he would get to feed them. Lennie's personality is severely hindered by the fact that he wants rabbits so much because he just doesn't have the want or urge to make friends or talk to people besides the case with accidentally running into the stable boy.

Lennie Small; A simple man with a simple mind in a not-so-simple world. Lennie is mentally handicapped, living in the 1930’s during the Great Depression with his friend and caretaker, George. Because Lennie has the mind of a child but the strength and appearance of a 30-year-old man, which often gets him in trouble. He poorly hides the evidence of his wrongdoing, and cannot fully understand the cost of his own actions which ultimately results in his death. In John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, Lennie’s death is foreshadowed in conversations, Lennie’s tendencies of petting soft things too roughly, and events that happen on the ranch and in his past

In my opinion, Lennie Small is the most interesting character in Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men. Steinbeck does a very good job describing and characterizing Lennie's personality. Lennie's character is, indeed, quite unique. A large man with enormous strength, yet kind and childlike, he seems to find joy in simple life pleasures like petting a furry animal and making the water ripple. Lennie's greatest difficulty seems to be remembering; and it is the lack of the ability to remember that ultimately leads to his tragedy at the end of the book. In the novel, Steinbeck seems to reinforce Lennie's characteristics of strength, kindness, childlike manner, and somewhat animal-like personality.

The two are in trouble because Lennie had pulled on a girl's dress & scared her. Lennie is incredibly affectionate for a man in his time period. Lennie is just a few links short of a chain. Steinbeck made Lennie so that he could make the story more interesting by promoting the odd pair of Lennie being huge & dumb while George was small & smart.

Someone you can trust, who you can learn from and teach, but most importantly, one who can always be there for you no matter what happens. The relationship between the intelligent and feeble George Milton and the imbecile, but vigorous Lennie Small is displayed as the main objective in Steinbeck 's novel, Of Mice and Men. The description among these two characters is a form of juxtaposition because the two characters vary in several ways. The author’s intention of using this technique points out the differences between characters and how their personalities counteract each other significantly.
