Lennie

In this text I am going to write alot about Lennie. I chose to write about Lennie because I think that he is the most interesting guy in the book, Of mice and men.

George and Lennie are two bindle bums that are traveling around the country trying to get a job at a ranch. They get a job at a ranch and Lennie gets in alot og trouble, and at last he is killed.

Lennies Looks

Lennie was a great big man with a formless face and eyes with no special color. He had a slow and heavy way of walking, with his arms hanging by the sides.

Lennies Personality

Lennie lived in California around the 1930`s with his best friend George. We learned early in the book that Lennie is not very smart, he is acctually kind of stupid. An example of his stupidity is when he drinks alot of water from a pool that he did not know was safe to drink from. In the beginning you get an impression that Lennie is just stupid, but later in the book you kind of get a feeling that he is mentaly ill. Like when he killed that little pup and killed Curley’s wife, you get a strong feeling that he may be mentaly ill. And later in the book George tells the other guys on the ranch, that every time Lennie does something wrong, he never ment to be mean. And when you read the part when Lennie kills Curley’s wife, it seems like he really didn’t mean to hurt her. He only wanted her to stop screaming, so George wouldn’t find out that he killed that little pup. Because if George finds out about it, George wouldn’t let him feed the rabbits at the farm they were going to buy.

George and Lennies  relationship

I think that Lennie loves George alot, and I think George loves Lennie too and wants to live/work with him. Because Lennie offers George to be alone and himself will find a cave to live in. But George sais no to the offer. I think that George still loves Lennie after what he did to Curley’s wife, but Lennie just make to much trouble for George, so at last George kills Lennie. I think George killed Lennie because George gets in alot of trouble because of Lennie, and that he just cant take it any more.
