Eidson influenced my first impressions of Nat Swanson by persuading me to believe he was a bad and lonely character from the start of the novel. Eidson clearly demonstrates Nat Swanson as a lone ranger, a one-man gang and a loner in this story. At first Eidson reflects on Nat Swanson’s history to reflect his characteristics. Nat Swanson lost his whole family in an incident involving Comanche’s at a young age and was passed around foster homes. He felt abandoned because he also knew himself that he was only taken in by family for his work ethics but not for the caring and love of a child.
Throughout this novel we meet new characters each portrait in a certain personality in their own way. Lennie is a migrant worker who is mentally handicapped, large and very strong. He depends on his friend George to give him advice and protect him in situations he does not understand. His enormous strength and his pleasure in petting soft animals are a dangerous combination. He shares the dream of owning a farm with George, but he does not understand the implications of that dream.
Events like this in the past showed George the tremendous amount of trust and faith Lennie has in him because he listen to George no matter what since early in their childhood and because they grew up together. Throughout the novel, Steinbeck refers to a dream … the American dream, George and Lennie’s dream. This dream is the strong pathway of the wonderful friendship and is something that both George and Lennie share. They talk very confidently about dream so it makes the reader feel as if it will definitely happen, however George knows somewhere in the back of his mind that it is not possible. But he keeps this from Lennie because of his obsession with it.
