Answer:
George and Lennie's relationship is a lot like father and son
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a paragraph I wrote about a year ago. Feel free to change it around! :)
George and Lennie's relationship is alot like father and son. We can see this in the line "Lennie, for God'sakes don't drink so much." Lennie complied, giving the reader the idea that George has the authority, and therefore is a quite influential figure in Lennie's life. We learn that Lennie has a mental illness, and this reflects upon George and his treatment of Lennie. We can see that Lennie depends on George for survival, shedding light on the caregiving role of George in Lennie's life. However, George has a very short temper with Lennie, evident in the line, "God a mighty if I was alone I could live so easy. I could go get a job an' work, an' no trouble. No mess at all and when the end of the month come I could take my fifty bucks and go into town and get whatever I want." It shows how George believes his life would be so much better without Lennie, how he'd be able to keep his job and make a living for himself, while Lennie keeps messing up opportunities for them both. It shows how angry George is at Lennie, and to him, taking care of Lennie is more like a burden.
In conclusion, I believe that George and Lennie's relationship is a lot like a father-son relationship, however they do have their ups and downs and at times, George does think about his life and how much simpler it would be without Lennie. Most of the time though, he's happy he can spend time with Lennie, and genuinely cares for him.
