Answer 4

Lennie is based on the dwindling pure good and morality of the "man" during the great depression. During the Great Depression humans turned to their animal instincts and abandoned what separates humans from animals. This is morality, or the ability to Differenciate the good from the bad. This is what allows some people to run into a burning building in order to save others. This make humans different than animals. During the Great Depression many people lost that sense of trust in order to stay alive and provide for their families. Lennie represents the decreasing amount of people that were still good and cared for others, and had "unsoiled" morals.

But the real question is, did mankind ever return to what it was before the Great Depression, or has the animistic way of life lingered on the genes of the human race for ever?

Answer 5

Lennie: George's companion, the source of the novel's conflict. Lennie, enormous, ungainly, and mentally slow. Lennie's ignorance and innocence and helplessness, his childish actions, such as his desire to pet soft things, contrast his physical bulk, making him likeable to readers. Although devoid of cruel intentions, Lennie's stupidity and carelessness cause him to unwittingly harm animals and people, which creates trouble for both him and George. Lennie is tirelessly devoted to George and delights in hearing him tell of the dream of having a farm, but he does not desire the dream of the American worker in the same way that George does. His understanding of George's dream is more childish and he grows excited at the possibility of tending the future rabbits, most likely because it will afford him a chance to pet their soft hides as much as he wishes. Nevertheless, a dream is a dream, different for everyone, and George and Lennie share the similar attribute of desiring what they haven't got. Lennie, however, is helpless to attain his dream, and remains a static character throughout, relying on George to fuel is hope and save him from trouble.

Answer 6

Lennie is a very dependent individual who has a childlike mind.
