Answer:

1. Who are the main characters in Of Mice and Men?

Lennie:

A big, chubby migrant laborer. Due to his intellectual impairment, Lennie is fully reliant on George, his trip partner. Lennie shares his idea of a property that the two men will own together. Lennie is a kind and nice man who lacks self-awareness His obsession with soft things like little animals, clothing, and hair leads to calamity.

George:

He goes with Lennie and looks after him. George is clearly dedicated to Lennie, despite his frequent complaints about his caretaking duties. George's actions are driven by his desire to protect Lennie and bring them both to their ideal farm. Though George is the source of their future farm's narrative, it is Lennie's naive trust that allows George to believe it.

Candy:

Candy, an old ranch handyman, loses his hand in an accident and fears for his future. Fearing he would be obsolete; he offers his life savings if he can join George and Lennie in owning the property. Candy's old dog, shot in the back of the head by Carlson in an apparent gesture of charity, foreshadows Lennie's demise.

2. What makes their situation difficult?

Disability, money, age, behavior, race, and discrimination are just a few of the obstacles that each character faces on their path through life.

3. What makes them different from many of the other characters?

Each character is distinct from the others, having their own set of disabilities and personalities.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because their English was highly slangy, I had a difficult time following up with the plot. I found it simpler to understand this narrative after viewing it on television.
