Essay The two main characters in the novel, Of Mice and Men, are George Milton and Lennie Smalls. George is a small, intelligent man who cares for and acts as a sort of guardian for Lennie. Lennie is a very large, muscular man whose mind is very slow and is almost childlike. Both characters are traveling ranch hands, going from town to town in search of work. George’s and Lennie’s characters are round, evolving throughout the story.
In the novel Of Mice and Men John Steinbeck presents many characters who have a wide range of personalities. They extend from quiet and reserved to outgoing and aggressive. Among the group of men on the ranch, two characters, Curley and George, have similar characteristics but find themselves in conflict. Curley is the son of the owner of the farm and often likes to take advantage of the other men by picking fights with them. He lives in the main house with his pretty new wife.
He is a small but strong man that has sharp eyes, a dark of a face and looks to be in his 30’s. He has a confident personality; he is a smart, responsible and an ambitious person. During this novel we see how George is a caregiver, nourishes and sacrifices a lot for Lennie. Even though George is looking for an equal relationship and a steady job he can keep, he still doesn’t give up on Lennie. He has a lot of patience for him, because he knows that nobody else would want to take care of him, they’ll put Lennie in a cage and lock him up, like a wild animal and George he will feel the guilt if he lets that happen.
Lennie is mentally retarded, which can be seen in his actions; he loves to pet soft things, is very faithful to George and their vision of the farm and possesses incredible physical strength. Since these characteristics are being demonstrated throughout the whole novel, the reader must feel strong sympathy for him because it is clear that Lennie is hopeless. During the cause of events the reader gets compassion for him because he is just so doomed. Gaining this kind of feeling towards Lennie, proves that he is an outsider because otherwise there could not be such a sensation felt. Lennie is totally defenseless.
Via Gregory Peck’s matchless acting in the movie variation of the novel To Kill A Mockingbird, Atticus Finch would undoubtedly be the figurehead who has most influenced me. As a man and a lawyer, Atticus envelopes everything that is good in society-he stands tall in what he believes, and he summons to contest the County’s racial spate while maintaining a home of morals and values for his two kids. After watching it, the one thing that impacted me the most was the relationship of Jem and Scout with their father Atticus. With them Atticus is nothing but honest, and never tries to lessen the acerbity of situations with promises –an ability that many parents today lack. He treats his kids as if they were adults, he gives them the respect all
However, the fact that he keeps his mistress a secret and doesn’t file for a divorce shows that he does care about his wife’s happiness and well-being. Tom is a proud and confident character who has a lot of power and he knows it, it is what drives him. Even the way he stands shows that he has an immense power over people ‘leaning aggressively forward.’ This shows that Tom is always ready to be part of a fight or start something negative. He has ‘arrogant eyes’ which also shows that he has power and he is proud of that fact. The phrase, ‘fill those glistening boots’ describes how Tom thinks he is better at everything than everybody else is.
He looks at everyone’s, and tries to be just in every way possible, even if it is just a small brawl between Jem and Scout. It proves that he is always strives to be unbiased in every way. Obviously, we can see that Atticus is a father who is honest and he is someone we should consider as a role model. Another one of Atticus’s character traits that Lee writes about is Atticus’s tolerance. Mrs. Dubose, a frail old lady, spreads invidious comments regarding Atticus, but he would still “sweep off his
He decides who is wrong and right and is like the law on the ranch. The other men recognize his superiority and never question his actions or decisions, making Slim a constructive role-model for the men, except for Curley. Slim can’t influence Curley and is not a good role-model for him. For example, when Curley’s wife dies, Slim suggests Curley ‘stay with his wife’ but Curley is set on finding Lennie to kill him,
The other men recognize his superiority and never question his actions or decisions. Slim is also sensitive, but not overly so. He is the only one who understands George’s affinity for Lennie, and also the only one to comprehend the gravity of George’s final act for Lennie. As a ranch-man archetype, Slim represents the cool justice of the ranch world. While life isn’t always going to be pleasant, men like Slim can assure it will be fair, even if that means
