The individuals tear each other down by attacking characters that are weaker than themselves. This occurs multiple times. The most obvious one is between Lennie and the animals he loves so much. Due to Lennie’s mental disability, he harms the animals that are weaker than he. Another example of this is the way Crooks interacts with Lennie. Since Crooks is much weaker than all the other men because he is black and his back is crooked, he decides to attack Lennie because of his weaknesses. He tells Lennie that he needs to stop dreaming of the farm and to stop relying on George for everything he needs. A third example of this is when George shoots Lennie. Although George is trying to protect Lennie, he is too weak to stand up to the other men to save him so he shoots him
