Of Mice and Men

By: John Steinbecks
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. George and Lennie are different from the rest of the people in the same occupation because as Lennie said to George, “because I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that’s why.� They are also different because as George said, “We got a future. We got somebody to talk to that gives a damn about us.� They also share a common goal for their future together. 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.

Curley is the bosses son and is a small man who is jealous of all the big men and tries to start fights with them. Curly’s wife is the ranch tart who attempts to use her physical features to get people to notice her. She makes use of her stunning body to gain the attention of the ranchers to soothe her loneliness. These acts give her a sense of relief and made her feel wanted so she can share her personal concerns and experiences. A man once told her “he was gonna put me in movies. Says I was a natural.” Since her mother would not let her become an actress she met Curly and married him. Curly’s wife says, “ I don't like Curly. He ain’t’ a nice feller.” Curley’s wife notices how simple-minded Lennie is and takes advantage of that situation. She knows that he would be the only one who she could discuss her problems with. She has tried to talk to the other men on the ranch also hoping they will take her away from the ranch and Curly.

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.
