But at times George gets frustrated at Lennie and snaps because of what Lennie commits. It is clearly stated “Listen you crazy bastard,” he said fiercely” Don’t you even take a look at that bitch’ ” (Steinbeck, 32).

The relationship he has with Lennie is not an equal relationship, due to t he fact that George is always protecting Lennie from the dangers he is exposed to and causes a huge negative impact on
