also very understanding, especially Slim and this shows when he said, “ya hadda George, I swear ya hadda”(Pg. 107) after George had brought the luger to the back of Lennie’s head and in less than a second ended a friendship and a war. The friendship between Lennie and George and the war between Lennie and Curly. The only character that does not treat George with respect is Curly, the Boss’s son and a real in the ass to all the workers. “George said, “S’pose he don’t want to talk?” Curly lashed his body around. “By Christ, he’s gotta talk when he’s spoken to. What the hell are you getting’ into it for?””(Pg. 25) Curly had an inferiority complex because he was small so he felt the need to lash out at the people who worked on his fathers ranch, knowing that he had more, not necessarily physical, power then the rest of them did put together. He knew that he could get them fired and this made him act cocky when the other workers were around, especially George and Lennie. George knew by the end of the book that although he did not like curly, he would most likely be working on that farm for a long time.George and Lennie’s original idea was never really going to happen. Even though George and Lennie would go back to it non-stop, George knew that he making a good living on the ranch they were at. I don’t think George was about to throw all that away so he could chase the “American Dream”, being able to work for himself and not worry about Boss’s or other workers, which he had a notion he probably wouldn’t reach anyway, with or without Lennie....
