What Is The Difference Between Of Mice And Men

Many of the men in the novel can't conceptualize what it is like to have a bond with a living being; and even if they have a relationship, like Curley, they treat the other person as an object, not acknowledging them as someone of importance. At a time before the novel takes place, George had once treated Lennie in this manner, not bothering to care for his well being. The difference between George and these men is that George was forced into the position of caring for someone else, but it ended up benefiting him in ways that cannot be described, but only felt. As demeaning as it sounds, Lennie was like a pet for him, something to keep him company. Candy had this relationship with his own dog that he has had since the dog was a puppy. Carlson,
