I think that George doesn't understand that Lennie has a mental disability from the way that he treats him. There are many examples in the book such as this example: "I gotta tell you again, do I? Jesus Christ you crazy ----------!" In this example, George doesn't recognize that Lennie forgets things often because of his mental disability. Instead of acknowledging that Lennie has a disability, he yells at him and calls him a no-no word. Also George yelled at Lennie for having him get both of them into trouble and if George didn't have Lennie, he could get a job and spend it on things but he has got Lennie and he keeps getting him into trouble. What George doesn't know is that Lennie has a mental disability or he doesn't acknowledge it.
