- In this scene, George is very frustrated. He tells Lennie that his life would be much better if he did not have to worry about taking care of Lennie all of the time. George's words are hurtful to Lennie and he considers running away to live in a cave so he isn't such a bother to George. This exchange is significant because Steinbeck shows that George is conflicted about Lennie. He loves Lennie and keeps him around because he appreciates the companionship and cares for him as a person, but he recognizes what a burden Lennie can be. Ultimately, Geroge's compassion for Lennie wins out. George apologizes to Lennie and says he likes having him around. This scene highlights how important companionship is during the Great Depression. George sacrifices convenience in order to have the companionship.
- In this scene, George is trying to take away the dead mouse Lennie has been carrying around. Lennie admits that he has accidentally killed the mouse by pinching its head. This exchange is significant for two reasons. First, this scene helps develop the dynamic between George and Lennie. George is characterized as the more intelligent and dominant of the pair. Lennie is characterized as more simple-minded. His speech reveals his lower intelligence, as does his decision to carry a dead mouse in his pocket. This scene also shows Lennie's love of petting soft things, and the destruction that can come from this desire to pet soft things. Similarly, the fact that Lennie accidentally killed the mouse by pinching it too hard shows that Lennie is not aware of his strength. This foreshadows the fact that Lennie's desire to pet soft things, coupled with his unchecked strength will likely cause greater problems throughout the novel.
- In this scene, Lennie and George are discussing their dream. They both dream of buying their own farm and working for themselves. For George, the freedom of working for himself is what he hopes for. Lennie's dream seems more focused on tending the rabbits and having soft animals to pet.This exchange is significant because it illustrates the fact that both men share a common dream that they are working towards. Both Lennie and George use this dream to get them through the difficult situations they face as migrant workers during the great depression. This dream gives both men something to work for - a sense of hope. The fact that Lennie and George share this dream and are included in one another's dream highlights the depth of their bond, and the importance of their friendship.
