Of Mice and Men Part 3:

Part 3:

           This unlikely pair, George and Lennie, are together for reasons other then companionship. In part 3 in Of Mice and Men, George confesses to Slim about how he, "Used to play jokes on [Lennie] cause he was to dumb to take care of 'imself. But he was too dumb to even know he had a joke played on him. I had fun"(40). But then George explains a situation in which he tells Lennie to do something terribly dangerous, and Lennie forgives him immediately after, giving no second thought to being angry toward George. And George says to Slim during this confession, "Well I ain't done nothing like that no more"(40). I think that George feels great remorse toward the way he treated Lennie. Lennie has become his family overtime, but George still remembers the times where he took advantage of Lennie to bring himself up and feels at fault for his prier actions. I think George knows that he must make up for his faulty behavior by making sure nobody ever treats Lennie that way again as he did before.
