George had just told Lennie they were going to the ranch to get a job but then right after, he asked, where are we going again. For example, in the story, Lennie questioned, “ Where we going’, George?” and George forced down his hat and scowled Lennie, So you forgot that awready, did you? I gotta tell you again, do I? Jesus Christ, you're a crazy bastard!” (Steinbeck 4). After that, Lennie showed examples of anger towards George. Although , Steinbeck may not have specifically said Lennie was angry, from my understanding, Lennie was angry at George for taking his mouse from him. In fact, I believe this because Lennie loved touching soft things and George took that one thing he loved right away from him. For example, in the story, He heard Lennie crying and turned around. “Blubberin’ like a baby! Jesus Christ! A big guy like you.” (Steinbeck 9). As a result of him taking away his mouse, Lennie threatened George, “ Do you want me to go away and leave you alone?” (Steinbeck 10). Consequently, George was surprised toward this anger.

Following that, Curley was aggressive because he kept slugging and socking Lennie in the face.Curley thought Lennie was laughing at him, but really he was still smiling with pleasure at the thought of the ranch. (Steinbeck 62). Consequently, Curley slashed at Lennie with his left, and than smashed down his nose with a right. Hence Curley being aggressive, Lennie’s aggressiveness kicked in. No matter how much Lennie didn't want to hurt Curley. Lennie wasn't going to just sit there and get beat because eventually it's going to hurt. Finally, Lennie had grabbed Curley's fist, crushed his fist with his gigantic hands. The Anger resulted into frustration and aggressiveness. (Steinbeck
