Plot and Structure
Lennie Small
o Simple character with a powerful impact -- He is a big man, in contrast to his name.
• "Behind him(George)walked his opposite, a huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, with wide, sloping shoulders; and he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws. His arms did not swing at his sides, but hung loosely." o He loves to pet soft things, is blindly devoted to George and their vision of the farm, and possesses incredible physical strength
o He earns the reader’s sympathy because of his utter helplessness in the face of the events that unfold. Lennie is totally defenseless. He cannot avoid the dangers presented by Curley, Curley’s wife, or the world at large
o Doomed from the beginning
o His innocence raises him to a standard of pure goodness that is more poetic a character whose innocence only seems to ensure his inevitable destruction
o He is often described as a child or an animal - he drinks from the pool like a horse and his huge hands are described as paws.
George Milton
o He is a small man, but has brains and a quick wit.
o He is short-tempered but a loving and devoted friend, whose frequent protests against life with Lennie never weaken his commitment to protecting his friend. George’s first words, a stern warning to Lennie not to drink so much lest he get sick, set the tone of their relationship. George may be terse and impatient at times, but he never strays from his primary purpose of protecting Lennie.
o He has been a good friend to Lennie, ever since he promised Lennie's Aunt Clara that he would care for him. He looks after all Lennie's affairs, such as carrying his work card, and tries to steer him out of potential
