Lennie is essentially a child in the body of a large man. He has all the innocence, wonder of a child yet is expected to be an adult by the people that encounter him. To make matters worse he forgets the boundaries imposed on him, mostly by George, and gets into trouble. In the end the things he does really aren't his fault. Like many people like Lennie, he has little impulse control. This can be seen in his repeated encounters with women. Lennie, however, is fiercely loyal to his friend George. He holds an unconditional love for him. In a perfect world Lennie would befriend everyone. Unfortunately this depression era time along with general ignorance about mental challenges made it tough for Lenny.
