Steinbeck has mentally and emotionally on purpose created two completely opposite characters. We get the sense that George is a parental figure towards Lennie as when George asks Lennie, do you remember where we’re going now? Lennie “looked startled and then in embarrassment hid his face against his knees”, ” I forgot again”. This enables us to understand Lennie’s obliviousness, he doesn’t even remember where he’s going, and he must follow George as though he is his ‘daddy’. Although Lennie is ashamed of his self and ‘embarrassed’ as he “hid his face against his knees”, he has respect for George and is sorry to disappoint him.
George and Lennie represent the former group, for whom we can feel sympathy, while Curley is a character with whom it is hard to sympathize. The writer presents Lennie as large and strong, but mentally slow, while his guardian George is physically less capable but mentally much brighter. As soon as we hear that they are constantly having to travel the country for work, because of Lennie’s past mishaps, we feel sorry for them. We sympathize with Lennie, because what happened in Weed, for example, was not really his fault; and we feel sorry for George because he has to cope with the responsibility, if not the burden, of trying to find a way for them both to survive and to stay out of further trouble. Steinbeck invites the reader’s sympathy, in the scene where they camp overnight before going to the ranch.

Gene showed that he was generally good, and Finny showed that he was generally evil at times (maybe because of the narrators point of view). After gathering these thoughts, Finny and Gene could easily be characterized as solely good and solely evil because there were many instances in which the two were adverse just as good and evil are, Gene fits the description of “good,” and Finny fits the description of “evil” fairly well, and because Finny dies.

The idea of not being able to protect my mother or sisters from this horrendous treatment, gave thought to the slave men and their inability to stand up for those who I am sure, were precious to them…as mine are me today.

As a younger man, oh what I missed…the possibilities were, are
