George has to look out for Lennie and take care of him.Two grown men who love each other as brothers do. They are very close and also very distant. Lennie and George communicate within a narrow context that can't transcend Lennie's very limited comprehension. Lennie is mentally challenged yet hard working . Although they have a brotherly relationship , Lennie sees george as a paternal role model . He does as George tells him to as far as his mind enables him. In a society that is so desperately lonely, George and Lennie share a bond that is simple yet profound. Although George vents about the problems he has taking care of Lennie, George needs Lennie as much as Lennie needs him.
