George and Lennie Connection

Hello fellow viewers! Today I am going to talk about George and Lennie's connection. I noticed that when George is talking to someone about Lennie, he speaks very highly of him, but when he is around Lennie he always speaks in a gruff brusque manor. When George was speaking with Slim, he said, "If I tol' him to walk over a cliff, over he would go. That wasn't so damn fun after a while. He never got mad at me about it neither. I've beaten the hell outta him and he coulda bust every bone in my body jus' with his han's, but he never lay a finger on me." In that quote, George spoke very highly of Lennie and said he was very peaceful, but When Lennie secretly brought the pup, George angrily scolded, "Lennie,' he said sharply. 'I tol you you couldn't bring that pup in here.'" George went on to tackle Lennie and retrieve the pup. I believe George means to teach him like a father figure, by scolding and correcting Lennie. I believe foreshadowing is in play here. I believe some day George will get very mad at Lennie for doing something wrong and like always he will scold Lennie. Lennie will snap at George and hurt George in some way and Lennie will not know what to do. As shone In Lennie's fight with Curley, if the circumstances are right and Lennie feels it is the right thing to do, he will fight. I feel George and Lennie's friendship will take a hit because they never seem to see eye to eye. Thank you for your time again in today's blog.
