''Of Mice and Men'' - Between the Line: Characters

In the book called ‘’Of Mice and Men’’ does Lennie take care of George or does George take care of Lennie?


After reading the Of Mice and Men I think that George takes care of Lennie. I say this because whenever Lennie can’t remember something George has to remind him. For and example when Lennie thought he was holding his own work card but, George had it he could not remember that he gave it to him and if he can’t remember simple things like that then how will he be able to provide for his self on his own. Lennie also forgets where they are going sometimes and George has to remind him. George takes care of Lennie because when they go somewhere and Lennie get into trouble George has to get him out of it because he can’t fix his mistake on his own. In the book there was a line that was said by George and it stated ‘’ I could get along so easy and nice if I did not have you on my tail’’ which I think means that Lennie always follows him and not the other way around.
