G+&+L+relationship

FC When George takes away the mouse from Lennie saying, “I ain’t takin’ it away jus’ for meanness. That mouse ain’t fresh, Lennie;” (pg. 9) it shows that George is watching over Lennie making sure that he doesn’t play or touch dead mice. “You get another mouse that’s fresh and I’ll let you keep it a little while.” (pg. 9) This shows George being friendly and lovable to Lennie saying that he will let him keep a mouse if Lennie finds one “fresh”. “Now look—I’ll give him the work tickets, but you ain’t gonna say a word. You jus’ stand there and don’t say nothing. If he finds out what a crazy bastard you are we won’t get no job, but if he sees ya work before he hears ya talk, we’re set. Ya got that?” This quote shows how George is making sure that Lennie gets the job at the ranch. He keeps watching out for and helping Lennie.

JLH “Lady, huh? Don’t even remember who that lady was. That was your own Aunt Clara. “Whatever we ain’t got, that’s what you want” George Exploded “George, you want I should go away and leave you alone?” “I want you to stay with me, Lennie.” This describes their relationship that is cruel but that they need each other at the same time. They just are always together so it’s hard not to argue.

I gotta tell you again, do I? Jesus Christ, you’re crazy bastard!” These quotes tell me that George doesn’t like or don’t understand Lennie at all. And that he doesn’t care about him either.

“You never had none, you crazy bastard. I got both of ‘em here. Think I’d let you carry your own work card?” -George “I could get along so easy and so nice if I didn’t have you on my tail. I could live so easy and maybe have a girl.” –George “Good boy! That’s fine, Lennie! Maybe you’re gettin’ better.” –George These quotes show how George is basically in charge of everything that Lennie does, and that Lennie is a burden to George. George is almost like Lennie’s father.
