He has no understanding over the situation, and drinks just because he's thirsty. George quickly chastises him, explaining how the water could be "bad" and make Lennie "sick ". This shows that George cares for Lennie, as he is worried about him getting sick. As we've already seen, George tries to take care of Lennie. In their relationship, George is in control like a parent, while Lennie is just like a little kid.
It may not seem like a sacrifice, but now George will lose the only pal he ever had. George is such a good friend that he makes the ultimate sacrifice to prevent Lennie’s pain. We all want many relationships in life time. George has a best friend, Lennie, and that's great, but being handicapped, Lennie doesn't offer much back. George doesn’t get anything back gets nothing from
It becomes a “dark time” for Mr. Gordon. And in all the sorrow he is feeling and pains that he is experiencing he realizes that the men that he viewed as Gods are the same as him - below him even. He figures out that even being one of the smartest men alive, still doesn’t ensure you have all the answers. Clearly Charlie’s struggles relate to the quotation. Daniel Keyes also uses symbolism that relates to the quotation.
As he tries to help the men attain their dream, he also reminds them of the possibility (and indeed, likelihood) that it’s going to fail. Once it does indeed fail, it’s Candy more than anyone else who feels the loss. While George mourns what he must do to his friend, and Lennie worries for the future rabbits, Candy is left to embody the despair one finds at the end of a long, hard-working life when you’re done with your career and no closer to the American dream. And also, your best friend (even if it is a dog), is
The majority of complications that restrict George from achieving his ultimate goal originate from his mentally challenged companion, Lennie Smalls, who repetitively gets them into trouble. Ironically, Lennie is also responsible for the conception, motivation, and death of George’s dream. Without Lennie, the dream cannot be completed. George is a hardworking man who not only takes care of himself, but also his companion Lennie Smalls. Lennie, being mentally slow, gets himself and George into trouble countlessly causing them to run from place to place in an attempt to escape the repercussions of Lennie’s actions.

On a ranch full of strong men, weakness is not really accepted, and people get criticized because of it. Because characters often know their weaknesses, they’re quick to try to cover for them, which spell confrontation. It’s a like bullying, characters weaknesses makes them feel insecure about themselves, so they fight and judge others to avoid having their flaws seen by
He only does this to Lennie to show him what it like for him having nobody there and how he needs a companion , like Lennie and George ." A guy goes nuts if he aint got nobody." This shows how destructive loneliness is and how it changes his
Lennie is incapable of making decisions by himself and relies and depends on George entirely and also looks to him as sort of a big brother. Lennie also sees that George is helpful for guidance and answers which relates to Lennie’s mental abilities. Lennie feels a sense of safeness and comfort when he is with George, whereas when Lennie is without George he sometimes feels awkward and misunderstood by others. George refers to Lennie as his cousin in the book, only to avoid questions being asked and hassle from the ranch owner. But the truth to the matter is that George promised Lennie’s Aunt Clara that he would take care of him when she passed away.
George warned Lennie not to say anything while he was talking to the boss. It’s for Lennies own good which shows that George cares for him. Lennie doesn’t abide what George has told him and therefore speaks while he is talking to the boss.
