He loves him even though he has a mental disbility ,but at other times George is very mean to Lennie. However, when George is mean to Lennie he ends his tirade with "No--look I was jus' foolin' Lennie. 'Cause I want you to stay with me..."(Page 13) This shows
When Curly first saw Lennie, he already had a bad impression towards him because Curly hated people that are bigger than him. What made it worse is that George was talking for Lennie because he didn't want him to say anything that could compromise their jobs. Curly got suspicious at Lennie because he didn't talk much, so George told Curly that Lennie is is cousin and that when he was young he got kicked in the head by a horse which caused his mental disablity. As Curley left, George told Lennie that he should avoid Curly before anything happens, but if Curly wanted a fight just give it to him and teach him a lesson. Minutes later, 2 of the handymen around the farm returned to the bunkhouse that they were in.
The reason he did this was because George told him not to mess with her and if he does he could get them in a lot of trouble and possibly ruin their dream of having a farm together. Lennie remembers this but because she persuades him to just talk to her since no one is around he does so and, like George said gets them, mostly himself in a lot of trouble. Lennie doesn’t know his own strength and he is trying to kill her he just wants her to be quiet so he won’t get in trouble. This eventually leads to George killing Lennie because all of the workers that are working on the farm go out to kill and George would rather do it than to watch some person Lennie barely knows do
This caused her to try to pull away which made Lennie hold on tighter. That went back and forth until he ended up killing Curly’s wife. Lennie felt horrible for his actions. He didn’t know how to take responsibility so he did what George had told him to. Lennie ran to the woods and hid.
Although Lennie is ashamed of his self and ‘embarrassed’ as he “hid his face against his knees”, he has respect for George and is sorry to disappoint him. He’s forgotten “again” so his obliviousness is often, which gives us a sense that it’s part of his nature, he has a childish behaviour.
I think is a bad action to kill him, because he has a cerebral issue which makes him not to think his actions. But George was tired of him, and all the things he have gone through with Lennie. To getting in trouble thanks to him, and then have to out from a town to another and start all over again. I really liked this novel because i learn to appreciate friendship. And I learn to that friendship always have a limit.
During this same conversation, George had explained to Lennie that if anything bad happened he needed to hide in the brush. “Course you did. Well, look. Lennie----if you jus’ happen to get in trouble like you always done before, I want you to come right here an’ hide in the brush.”(Steinbeck 15). George is trying to protect Lennie from getting into caught by others when he does something wrong.
George and Lennie represent the former group, for whom we can feel sympathy, while Curley is a character with whom it is hard to sympathize. The writer presents Lennie as large and strong, but mentally slow, while his guardian George is physically less capable but mentally much brighter. As soon as we hear that they are constantly having to travel the country for work, because of Lennie’s past mishaps, we feel sorry for them. We sympathize with Lennie, because what happened in Weed, for example, was not really his fault; and we feel sorry for George because he has to cope with the responsibility, if not the burden, of trying to find a way for them both to survive and to stay out of further trouble. Steinbeck invites the reader’s sympathy, in the scene where they camp overnight before going to the ranch.
I can go away any time,” proves that Lennie will do anything for George. This is the main difference between the two friends is that they have very distinctive philosophical views. Lennie is a committed dreamer as all he thinks about is the rabbits he can attend to when they get the farm. Lennie said, “Let’s have different color rabbits, George.” He want different colored rabbits although that isn’t possible to do clarifying the idea of him being a dreamer. As the opposite, George said, “I think I knowed from the very first.
George is explaining to Lennie by the fire where he should go if he gets caught in a situation, like what they had just ran away from again. ‘if you just happen to get in trouble like you always done before, I want you to come right here an’ hide in the brush.’ This quote from the novel tells us that Lennie is bound to get in trouble and at some point in the film he will have to travel back to the brush and
