George and Lennie are an unlikely pair of friends who are introduced in the beginning. George is “small and quick, dark of face, with restless eyes and sharp, strong features.” Lennie contradicts George because he is a “huge man, shapeless of face, with large pale eyes, with wide sloping shoulders, and he walks heavily.” Lennie loves to pet soft animals such as mice and other things, this gets George and Lennie in a lot of trouble throughout the story. George is the more dominant of the two because Lennie is slow in the head.

They want to be able to live on there own and have a couple of acres so they can plant things and have animals. They are going to “live off the fatta the lan’.” This single dream makes George and Lennie different from everyone else.

She has tried to talk to the other men on the ranch also hoping they will take her away from the ranch and Curly. She is just a young beautiful woman who has used her body in the past to try to get somewhere in her life. Being known for her reputation for being a flirt, none of the farmhands wants to talk to her, but no matter how hard she tries, she can never fit in. Then Curley's wife tells Lennie how soft her hair is and Lennie begins to feel it, he starts to rub her to hard and she begins to scream.
