Lennie is very innocent and sweet-natured; he always means well and is focused on simple pleasures, which his dream with George reminds the reader of. He lacks awareness of social conventions and so does not feel the same racism and prejudice against women that many of the other male characters feel.
Lennie only gets angry or aggressive when he feels that his friendship with George is threatened. For example, when Crooks suggests that George might abandon Lennie, Lennie reacts angrily, worried that Crooks is threatening violence against his friend. Lennie is described as a very large, slow man. Behind him walked his opposite, a huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, with wide sloping shoulders;. He was so little, said Lennie.
The use of ellipsis here shows how upset Lennie is as he is not able to speak fluently, demonstrating that he did not mean to cause any harm to his puppy. Lennie covered his face with huge paws and bleated with terror.
Another reason George would of thought about his choice is because he knew of Lennie 's mental capabilities. But George had no way to cover this mistake.
Given at the end of the book that Lennie has killed a lot of mice a puppy and a woman, George knows…. Lennie is dangerous because he is clueless. He has the sweetest heart, but he just was not meant to be by himself or around other people besides George. Lennie depends of George all of the time, and if George was not around then Lennie would cause a lot more damage.
Lennie is not the type of person that is meant to do normal…. This shows that Lennie is not aware of his actions and he does not know when to stop. It also shows that he does not care about whom he is talking to. The dream to have their own land is so important to them because they are tired of being bossed around and want to boss themselves. Everyone on the farm wanted to torture and then kill him. George did not want Lennie to die unhappy. He wanted to make sure his friend thought they were going to reach their dream, even though the situation would not allow it.
S'pose he gets killed or hurt so he can't come back" Seeing that Crooks is displayed as a hostile guy and is not welcomed in the barn, he keeps to himself. He says he like to pet soft thing so she invites him to touch her hair. He keeps petting it and she tells him to stop again. In a panic, he holds on tighter and she starts screaming so Lennie goes into a panic and puts his hand over her mouth to keep her from screaming.
He is powerless against his urges and the forces that assail him. You ain 't so little as mice. I didn 't bounce you hard. It is also shown in the book with other character 's actions.
George is Lennie 's best friend who lost hope on Lennie because Lennie keep on getting in trouble. Lennie is a big, muscular man, but he is also unintelligent and irresponsible. This is significant because it displays the impact of the dream farm on Lennie. He is worried that by disappointing George he wont be allowed to tend the rabbits, so he tries his hardest to stay out of. During the time of the great depression the handicapped never reach there American dream.
Steinbeck crafts Lennie a sincerely mentally handicapped man, as an archetype the mentally handicapped in our society in order to imply that the type of people are excluded from the american dream.
Lennie doesn 't get to accomplish his american dream due to him being mentally handicapped, but also gets in trouble even though he doesnt mean to. Lennie is perceived as a mentally impaired man who follows his friend George around while they look for work.
Most people could not stand to be around Lennie, because they just cannot understand why he is the way he is.
