Lennie Although Lennie is among the principal characters in Of Mice and Men‚ he is perhaps the least dynamic. He undergoes no significant changes‚ development‚ or growth throughout the novel and remains exactly as the reader encounters him in the opening pages. Simply put‚ he loves to pet soft things‚ is blindly devoted to George and their vision of the farm‚ and possesses incredible physical strength. Nearly every scene in which Lennie appears confirms these and only these characteristics.
