While Crooks appears to have no friends at all and has developed a certain contentedness with his isolation, Curley’s wife, similarly lacking in friends, seeks out companionship by frequently visiting the men’s bunkhouse under the pretense of looking for her husband. Both Crooks and Curley’s wife find a companion in Lennie who, due to his simple nature, does not recognize the social constraints that have led to the isolation of these individuals.]]> 2020-06-15 12:03:24 UTC https://padlet.com/17borisla/69a4dngsyjikifmf/wish/627219364 cilomee https://padlet.com/17borisla/69a4dngsyjikifmf/wish/627221778 2020-06-15 12:05:25 UTC https://padlet.com/17borisla/69a4dngsyjikifmf/wish/627221778 cilomee https://padlet.com/17borisla/69a4dngsyjikifmf/wish/627222155 2020-06-15 12:05:44 UTC https://padlet.com/17borisla/69a4dngsyjikifmf/wish/627222155 Friendship in OMAM 17borisla https://padlet.com/17borisla/69a4dngsyjikifmf/wish/627228093 The friendship between George and Lennie can be described as strong like a rock.

The whole story takes place over a period of four days, starting on Thursday evening and ending on Sunday. While at the ranch, George and Lennie meet other characters, who emphasise the loneliness and difficulty of life for the people living and working in these places.

George is a small, intelligent man who looks after his friend Lennie, a large, strong man who has a learning disability. Lennie’s strength becomes increasingly problematic throughout the story as it becomes clear that he does not understand how much damage he can cause.

At several points during the novel, the two men discuss their dream of owning their own ranch and working for themselves, but this is shown to be impossible as by the end of the book Lennie has accidentally killed a woman and George’s only option is to shoot him before he is caught
