Lennie's Characteristics

George's Characteristics

Lennie is a very compassionate guy but hes not very bright. He has the thinking power of a child but he has the strength of a bull.

George lives in the moment. Hes sly and his behavior has an attitude that comes with it.

Simple - "I wasnt doin nothing bad with it. George. Jus stroking it."(P9)

Strong - "Dont go yelling.' He said and he shook her: and her body flopped like a fish." (P91)

Detached - "Ill break their god damn necks. Ill... Ill smash em with a stick." (P48)

Irresponsible - "God a'mighty, if I was alone I could live so easy. I could go get a job an' work, an no trouble." (P11-12)

Loving - "But I wouldn't eat none, George. I'd leave it all for you. You could cover your beans with it and I wouldn't touch none of it." (P12)

George and Lennie

Intelligent/Protective - "If you just happen to get in trouble like you always done before. I want you to come right here an hide in this bush." (P15)

Realist - "Le's get outta here. Its mean here.' 'We gotta stay' George said shortly." (P33)

Caring - "George wunt go away and leave me. I know George wunt do that." (P73)

Short tempered - "Well we aint got any!' George exploded." (P11)

Responsible - "Well I never seen one guy take so much trouble for another guy. I just like to know what your interest is." (P25)

Both are privileged compared to other country men. They both are extremely lonely. Simple in thought in regard to their wishes and how they treat people. No content with their lives.

Hard working - It aint enough land so we'd have to work to hard. Maybe six, seven hours a day." (P58)

Dependent - "I got you to look after me and you got me to look after you." (P14)

Wanderers - "Its a lot nicer to go around with a guy you know" (P35)

True Friends - I seen the guys that go around on the ranches alone. That ain't no good. They don't have no fun. After a long time they get mean." (P45)

Dreamers - There wouldn't be no more runnin' round the country and gettin' fed by a Jap cook. No, sir, we'd have our own place where we belonged and not sleep in no bunk house" (P63).
