Candy is an old man who works at the ranch. He works as a swamper. He feels like ageing as an old man, makes him feel useless. He feels lonely and is affected by this. His dog getting shorted by Carlson symbolized that. When he listens about George and Lennie’s dream, he offers 350$ if he could join the dream and live with them, in that case, he wouldn’t age as a lonely and grumpy old man

Lennie is a huge man, with a lot of physical strength, he can’t control. Lennie is mentally disabled, he has a mindset is younger that his age, that is why he depends on George, in order to live and survive. Lennie is very strong, very loyal to George, caring, He loves to touch soft things, that’s why he does not like to cause any type of problems, and lives in fear of not getting to pet the rabbits George promised him. Even though he does not mean it, he tends to hurt the soft things he touches or plays with. He does not know how to control his own strength. Lennie dreamed of sharing his little house and farm with George and having rabbits and many kinds of animals, but since the serious problem he got into, with Curley’s wife, he was killed by George as the only option.

George is described as small of height, sharp features. He values friendship, specially his friendship with Lennie. George protects Lennie from others, because he knows how easy Lennie can get in trouble. George is someone very smart, and has a leader spirit. Sometimes, looking after Lennie was very frustrating for George because of the many problems they got into. At the same time, George let us know, that he doesn’t want his life to be without Lennie. George shows his love and appreciation moments before killing Lennie. I think he did this, because since Lennie got into a very serious problem, he didn’t wanted to see how he suffered by the consequences of Curley.
