Comparing George and Lennie

In part one in Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck uses a lot of words to describe George and Lennie. These two characters are the complete opposite.
Steinbeck describes Lennie as huge, with a shapeless face, large pale eyes, and wide, sloping shoulders. Lennie is also very care free because he drags his feet and he drank from the pond even though George told him not to. He had a pet dead mouse that he found, but George did not want him to keep it. Lennie seems a bit scared of George sometimes. Steinbeck describes George as small, skinny but strong, quick, tan face, and he has strong features like a bony nose. He is a little bit mean to Lennie and he calls him bad names. George can barely tolerate Lennie, but he has stayed with him all this time. George just wants to protect Lennie.
