Lennie Small is a tall and burly, kind, loyal and caring, but intellectually disabled man who is George's primary companion and is taken care of by George because of his mental disabilities
He is kind, doesn’t like to cause problems, and he loves to pet soft things such as the puppies or the dead mouse. He tends to hurt the things that he touches, not because he meant to, because he doesn't know his own strength.
Lennie's Aunt, Clara, adopted him as a child and took care of him while fulfilling his extra needs. When Aunt Clara died, George was left to care for Lennie. Lennie and George stayed together, doing work around the country.
In Weed, Lennie saw a girl's soft dress and started touching it. She wanted him to stop and started screaming at Lennie. Then, George came along and wacked him in the head with a fence and Lennie let of the dress. The girl ran away and told the law that Lennie raped her. A party of men in Weed set out to lynch Lennie, and the two fled. George and Lennie lost them after hiding in an irrigation ditch, and then hopped on a train to where they are now.
Lennie; during a conversation with Curley's Wife, started stroking her hair. She reacted negatively to this because he was messing it up and creeping her out, and started yelling at him.
He didn't want to get in trouble for doing this, so he covered her mouth and started shaking her to get her to stop screaming, but shook her too hard and her neck snapped, killing her. They stated she flopped like a fish when she died.
He fled to the brush where he and George first went in the start of the book and where George told him to fled if they got in trouble, and started hallucinating about his Aunt Clara, who scolded him for his lack of independence from George and being a burden. Then, a large rabbit came out and started insulting Lennie.
As the hallucinations started dying away, George came and told Lennie about their American Dream. He told Lennie that they could do it right now. Lennie was happy about it, until George pointed Carlson's luger to the back of Lennie's head,shot and killed him.
Lennie Small is the secondary protagonist in Of Mice and Men. He is a huge, lumbering man whose bearlike appearance masks a sweet, gentle disposition. Lennie has an unnamed mental disability—according to George, this is the result of an accident as a child, though this is likely untrue.
