Today I am going to talk about how the author gives us more examples of how George and Lennie are polar opposites. One example was when Curley's wife came in. Candy told them "she got the eye." George knew that if Lennie messed with Curley's wife, Curley would take the chance to fight Lennie. While George looked away from Curley's wife, Lennie stared at her. It seems as if Lennie wanted to steal Curley's wife away from Curley. George then said: "don't you even take a look at that -----." I think that George didn't want Lennie to look at Curley's wife because of experience. George knows that if Lennie looked at Curley's wife, Curley would get into the fistfight with Lennie and Curley would beat Lennie up and tell the boss to fire Lennie. I think George was protecting Lennie against Curley like a brother would.
