Contradicting features of George and Lennie
In Of Mice and Men John Steinback uses contrasting words to describe George and Lennie as complete opposites. Words that describe Lennie are tall and long whereas George is described as short and strong. George is described as defined whereas Lennie has a shapeless face. Georges eyes are sharp and restless but Lennie's are large and pale. Georges shoulders are defined but Lennie's are sloping. George is quick but Lennie takes heavy steps, dragging his feet.
It's kind of ironic that the big person like Lennie, is actually mentally disabled and needs help to do things. You would think that if any of them would have a disability, it would be George
