Of Mice And Men - Lennie
“Of Mice and Men”, the novel by John Steinbaeck, is about two men’s struggle to achieve their dream. George Milton and Lennie Small are casual workers who move around different ranches doing jobs when they are required. They move to a ranch near the town of Soledad with the hope of making enough money to buy a ranch of their own. The novel ends tragically when Lennie accidentally kills Curley’s wife and George is forced to shoot him. Lennie is one of the most interesting characters in the book because he differs from the others in a number of ways. He has a very simple mind and often acts like a child. He is also very strong but he is not in control of his strength. I admire Lennie because he is unprejudiced and treats everyone the same.We don’t know a lot about Lennie’s background. Judging by what we are told of his past, he didn’t have a “normal” happy upbringing. We don’t know what happened to Lennie’s family and parents and why he didn’t live with them, just that he was looked after by his Aunt Clara. Lennie was picked on by George and his friends because of his lack of intelligence but to Lennie this must have seemed normal. We learn from George about out an incident that happened when they were younger. Georg
