OF MICE AND MEN 
George and Lennie
There are two main characters, George and Lennie. Lennie is a massive man with incredible
strength but has a child's mind. George is a fairly sized man who is not incredibly
brilliant but has good common sense. What one man lacks, the other makes up for. It is a
perfect example of how opposites attract. They are a perfect match, and that is why they
have a truly great friendship. Although, no matter how much he tries, George cannot make
up for the huge gap in Lennies mind. Lennie is so childish it is hard to believe, for
example when he sees things he wants to grab and touch them. Throughout the book, the
stress of Lennie's retardation begins to weigh down on George. Because of Lennie, they
are nomads. Wherever they go, Lennie gets them in trouble. At there last location in a
town named Weed, Lennie grabbed a young girls dress to feel it and soon scared the woman
with his overwhelming strength. On to the next ranch they went, this time it just gets
worse. In one confrontation with the boss's wife, things go terribly wrong. Lennie knows
he is not supposed to talk to her, but he was trapped. As Lennie tried to wiggle out of
her grip, is when things turned from bad to worse, but no one was going to understand
Lennie like George was.
