Review of the characters from Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Lennie | One of the two main characters, he is mentally impaired and remarkably strong. He loves touching soft things, and he's a hard worker. |
| George | One of the two main characters, he is caregiver to the other main character. He tells the story of their dream of a small farm, rabbits, and living their lives on their own terms. He lies about the two of them being cousins. |
| Candy | Old and missing a hand, this character is responsible for cleaning the bunkhouse and outhouse. He buys into the dream of a farm, especially after his old sheepdog is shot. |
| Curley | Son of the big boss and short in stature, this character is a boxer who picks fights with anyone bigger than he is. |
| Slim | This character is the unofficial leader of all the ranch hands. He's a mule line skinner who takes his job and the care of his animals very seriously. He's the fount of wisdom for the other hands. |
| Carlson | This character does not like stinky dogs and pushes to get rid of anything that is not useful. He owns a Luger pistol, which he uses to shoot an old dog. |
| Crooks | One of two isolated characters, he is the stable buck for the ranch. He has a room in the barn all to himself, but is unwelcome in the bunkhouse. He gets his name from an injury he received when he was kicked by a horse. |
| Curley's Wife | Isolated because of gender, this character dreams of being in "pitchers" and living a glamorous life with lots of clothes. Instead, life entails the loneliness and rigor of living on a ranch as the only one of a kind. |
