He is very animalistic - Steinbeck describes him to 'dabble a paw' in the water of the river, suggesting he is closer to the intellect of animals than men.
He doesn't understand swear words - he uses them out of context throughout the book
His language is stunted and rough - for example: 'I... I ain't gonna... say a word.'
He makes frequent simple mistakes with daily life: 'A few beans slipped out of the corner of his mouth.'
His obsession with small furry animals takes precedent - he 'remembers the rabbits', pets the dog and kills it, kills mice, and eventually kills Curley's wife while stroking her hair - he cannot differentiate.
He doesn't learn from past experiences, for example when he 'quaffs the water' (like a horse) George reminds him that he got ill from doing that last time.
He imitates George exactly on may occasions, suggesting he is entirely dependant on George.
He doesn't understand the significance of what he did in Weed - the whole memory to him seems fun and exciting.
