The ''villains'' of ''Of Mice and Men''

By: Erika Bias
Lennie is a villain in the book ''Of Mice and Men''. But he isn't a villain on purpose.

Lennie doesn't try to be a villain it just happens on accident because he underestimates his strength. Lennie's strength is also underestimated by other people in the book and the movie.

He is always trying to make George happy, but he is messing up in major ways. George is always telling Lennie what to do, and Lennie is always trying hard to do what George asks of him.

 Lennie loves to touch soft things, and this is his major weakness; He and George are in weed, he touches a woman's dress and she gets upset.

He and George end up having to leave  weed to escape men that are chasing after them.
When Lennie and George get away from  them and to the ranch, again George is telling Lennie what he needs to do.

Lennie ends up getting in trouble here too. He kills Curley's wife because she is trying to yell at the other men because he is hurting her. Lennie was trying to feel her hair because she makes the mistake and tells him its soft.

 Lennie breaks her neck and leaves the ranch because he realizes  he made a huge mistake and now George wont let him tend the rabbits. Lennie runs away to the creek bank where George told him to go.

He gets there and starts talking to imaginary figures and one of the figures is aunt Clara. Aunt Clara is telling him that he is good for nothing and that he is always getting into trouble.

 The second figure that talks to him is a rabbit and it tells him its his fault he will not get to tend the rabbits. Then George showed up and tells him the story of the farm and when Lennie gets excited George ends it all. George ends the idea of a nice piece of land and rabbits Lennie gets to tend. All that time and work ended with a bang and a flash.
