Gene feels guilty for losing himself, as a child would, when throwing a temper-tantrum. He does not mean to hurt people, especially the ones he cares for, he just does not know any better. Gene’s instincts kick in when he feels threatened, and he always regrets when they do. After Gene kicked Leper’s chair he says to Mrs. Lepellier, “I’m terribly-it was a mistake…he said something crazy.
This doesn't make Bottom a good actor, even though Bottom continually acts out the parts of the others, thinking he can act out every scene solo. Bottom is very enthusiastic and wants to be the centre of attention. He's also the most noticable character amongst the Mechanicals. Mainly because he seems to be constantly talking. Bottom is a complete extraovert, bossy, energetic and quite annoying.
Oberon is especially manipulative towards Puck because he knows that Puck is his loyal servant and will do anything for him no matter what it is, so he takes advantage of it. ‘Give me that boy and I will go with thee.’ –Oberon (2.1.143) ‘Not for the entire fairy kingdom.-fairies away!’ –Titania (2.1.144) These few lines portray how Oberon starts to become upset with Titania’s attitude towards the subject of him having the Indian boy. The reason why Titania didn’t want to give up the Indian boy was because one

Both Hamlet and Polonius are swift to speak and always burst out in excitement. They both made mistakes due to this awful trait. Many times, Hamlet spoke too soon and acted out of rage or ignorance, and got himself in trouble. For instance, when Polonius is spying on Hamlet, he is hiding behind the curtain. Hamlet thinks it’s the king who is doing the spying and therefore ends up killing Polonius.
There were many times when Phineas did something wrong and simply talked his way out of it. When the boys skipped dinner, which was not allowed, they were confronted about it. Phineas told a lie about getting ready for the war. These lies came to him naturally, and being outgoing certainly helped being a smooth-talker. On page 18, Gene admitted his envy towards Phineas.
Despite Lennie’s best efforts to keep the dream it was not meant to be. Although Lennie is very child-like mentally, he is physically very strong and doesn’t realise his own strength. Consequently he does ‘bad’ things unintentionally, such as killing his puppy and Curley’s wife. Steinbeck continuously foreshadowed this event using a bad omen, “clashed the chains of their halters”. The word “clashed” has connotations of violence, the way Steinbeck has used this word as part of the bad omen could suggest that the dream ends in a violent way.
