Question

Explain whether you believe Lennie realizes that he has done something wrong.

a) Lennie fully comprehends the consequences of his actions and understands that he has done something wrong.
b) Lennie is partially aware of his mistake but doesn't fully grasp the gravity of the situation.
c) Lennie is completely unaware that he has done something wrong.
d) Lennie believes he has done something wrong but is in denial about it.

Answer 1

Lennie demonstrates a limited understanding of the consequences of his actions and does not fully grasp the gravity of the situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lennie, a character in the novel Of Mice and Men, demonstrates a limited understanding of the consequences of his actions and the gravity of the situation. Option (b) is a more accurate representation of Lennie's comprehension. For example, Lennie accidentally kills small animals and causes trouble for his friend George, but he does not fully comprehend the extent of the harm he causes. He is driven by his desire to touch soft things and his limited cognitive abilities prevent him from fully understanding the consequences of his actions.
