Investigating Themes in Of Mice and Me

Choose one of the following questions that interests you most to respond to in this week’s blog post:

2.) What kind of relationship do George and Lennie have? Is their relationship a friendship? How does this relationship express Steinbeck’s position on the individual versus the community?

George and Lennie have a close friendship relationship. Even though Lennie may annoy George's nerves they've been through a lot together they always seem to have each others back. You can say they've been through thick and thin together.I would say George and Lennie are the true definition of friendship because what ever happens they are together. Also George may put hints that he doesn't want Lennie around and Lennie always disregards it. This friendship may have been brought together by Lennie's Aunt but was mad stronger by their journey to the new job.
