Just so, what are Lennie's character traits?
Lennie is very innocent and sweet-natured; he always means well and is focused on simple pleasures, which his dream with George reminds the reader of. He lacks awareness of social conventions and so does not feel the same racism and prejudice against women that many of the other male characters feel.
Beside above, how is Curley described? Curley is a very aggressive and violent character. He is the Boss's son and takes advantage of the power that he has over the other men on the ranch to treat them cruelly and pick fights. He is physically small and so is resentful of bigger men and picks a fight with Lennie because of this.
Subsequently, one may also ask, how is Lennie Small described?
Lennie is described as being George's 'opposite' – 'a huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, with wide sloping shoulders; and he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws'. Throughout the story Lennie follows George and always tries to do what George tells him.
How would you describe George?
