of Mice and Men Exam part 3 essay

Relate Lennie And George to two other characters in another story?


In of mice and men there are two main characters Lennie and George. George is small, Quick Clever and thinks before he acts. Lennie on the other hand is huge, shaper less, slow and doesn’t have a lot of common sense. They are unlikely pair but they some how work well together.


These two characters remind me of another pair of Characters in a pervious book that I have read which was the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and His slave friend Jim. If these to character were in of mice and men Huckleberry Finn would probably be George, because like George he is more of a leader and a thinker. Jim would probably be Lennie because is a follower and lacks knowledge to his surroundings.


George would be know as the caretaker of Lennie just like Huckleberry Finn is the caretaker of Jim. Both George and Huck are
thoughtful even they don’t really want to show it. They are intelligent and know how to survive or their own or can they?
Were as Lennie and Jim are both down size by society as human being at the time because the way the look and how they act. Lennie for instance he is mental challenged which cause many people to not relate to him or understand him. Jim however he is smart but because of the time period racism and slavery makes Jim to be look down by others.

Not only as Individuals characters they can be compare, but as a pair together these characters can be compared. Lets look at Lennie and George they are two friends that depend upon each other and some how in Trouble and find themselves running away for something. Then you have Jim and Huck they are two friends that depend upon each but some how find themselves in trouble cause them to run away. So not only they personalities are similar but there Actions are the same to.

Both pairs are really unlikely to ever happen as friends but they Complete each other. They balance each other out like without one the other they would be nothing. They both need each other to make one person. But what happens when fate cause these friends to break up? I guess we will never know.
