In the end of part three, Lennie started to giggle after Curley was apologizing to Slim for thinking he was with his wife. After that happened, Curly attacked Lennie who was too scared to defend himself until George yelled, "Get'em, Lennie!"(63) After hearing that, Lennie crushed Curly's hand and even after George yelled "Lennie, let go of his hand,"(64) he would not stop. I think this shows how disabled Lennie really is. He was not even able to defend himself until George told him to. If George was not there to tell Lennie what to do, he would not be able to make life-threatening decisions on his own. He would most likely end up getting killed because if he did something wrong he would just freeze up.  I think this symbolizes how George is like a father and Lennie is like a child since he listens to George only.
