'Of Mice and Men' - is Lennie black?

Answer 1

No he is tan

Answer 2

The book isn't specific about that.

No Lennie is not black. Although the book does not specifically address that, Crooks is the only black person working on the ranch out of the people mentioned in the book. That is why he is isolated from the rest of the workers. If Lennie was black he would have also had to deal with the same things Crooks did.

Answer 3

Honey, did you even read the book? Lennie is not black, he's a white guy with a big heart and a simple mind. Maybe you need to brush up on your literature before jumping to conclusions.

Answer 4

it doesnt give a direct reference to skin tone - as the character isn't singled out like Crooks, the other black character, then i assume he was white

Answer 5

Answer 6
