How George Treats Lennie
Relationship between George and lennie
Steinbeck shows ways in which the relationship between George and lennie work using many different techniques. Through this piece of writing I’m going to show you different ways he does this.
Steinbeck creates both characters George is small but very smart and a sensitive character where as lennie is tall and well built but has mental problems. These characters are extremely different but this creates love between them they are not related in anyway but anyone would think they were.
George treats lennie like his son all the way through the book quote “OK. Some day- we’re gunna get the jack together and we’re gunna have a little house and a couple of acres” this is George and lennies dream lennies main priority is to tender the rabbits not to have a house of his own with George this shows that lennie is very childish. Quote. “NO.. You tell it. It aint the same if I tell it. Go on George how I get to tend the rabbits “. Lennie also repeats himself a lot this also shows his child like behavior. This behavior his something that is shown all the way through the book/film this is a big part in the relationship as it creates a lot of tension between both characters.
Companionship is another major part of the relationship George being the sensible clever one has to advise lennie on everything trying to keep him out of trouble like he had before in weed. George has to repeat things to lennie over and over again so he doesn’t forget or even make lennie repeat things he shouldn’t do. Quote. “ Hide in the brush said lennie. Hide in the brush said lennie slowly”. This shows that George doesn’t trust lennie just like a farther wouldn’t trust his son at a young age.
Control is another technique used by Steinbeck to create the relationship. George always makes sure lennie is under control and safe. At one part in the book George catches Lennie stroking a dead mouse. Quote. George-“awright, gi’ me that mouse!” Lennie-“ what
