The Story of a Beautiful Friendship “Many works of literature deal wish close relationships.” In the novel Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, the two protagonists have a close relationship. George Milton and Lennie Small are two migrant workers who travel around Salinas Valley, California, in the 1930’s during the Great Depression. Unquestionably, George and Lennie affect each other in both positive and negative ways. George Milton and Lennie Small are the two main characters who share a strong bond throughout the novel. George Milton is a responsible man who chose to take in and care for his friend. George takes care of Lennie and treats Lennie like a brother or a son.
