Of Mice And Men Lennie Drawing

George Milton: the small sharp-witted ranch hand who travels with Lennie. George is a typical, realistic hand who uses his mind to anticipate the future. George has restless eyes and sharp, strong features with every part of him defined. He always has to bail Lennie out of trouble.

Lennie Small: Lennie is a mentally retarded man who needs George's constant attention and care; he has a short attention span and acts similar to a child. Because of his mental limitations, Lennie can never understand or anticipate the consequences of his actions. Lennie is unnaturally large and has a shapeless face. He drags his feet when he walks and lets his arms hang. He has an infatuation with anything soft and furry. He acts impulsively which gets he and George into trouble numerous times.

Slim: Wise, tall, thin and quiet, Slim is both respected and admired. Everyone seeks his approval, even Curley, who seems to have contempt for everyone else on the ranch. The others

give into Slim because his word is the law. He is the voice of reason. Slim is the kind of man that George hopes to become one day.

Candy: A ranch hand who wants to join the dream of George and Lennie. He has one friend and long time companion, his dog. Because he is an old man and missing a hand, he is ostracized and discriminated against. He offers his life savings to George and Lennie to help finance their dream. Candy represents what will ultimately happen to all ranch hands: they will get old and have no place to go.

Crooks: Crooks is a proud and independent man who functions as the stable worker. Also an outcast on the ranch, he has a place of his own and stays there by himself. He also wants to be part of George and Lennie's dream and says that he would work for free. Besides George, he is the only one who understands Lennie and befriends him. He looks past Lennie's mental handicap and Lennie looks past Crooks' physical handicap.

Curley: Curley is the boss's evil son and a small, vicious bully. He wears high-heeled boots and spurs to prove he isn't a laboring man. He believes himself superior to everyone and he attempts to intimidate those larger than he.

Curley's wife-There isn't much known about her. In fact she isn't even given a name

and is referred to only as Curley's wife. Because Curley doesn't pay much attention to her, she is lonely and attempts to seduce the ranch hands.
