Of Mice and Men Chapter One

Introducing the Characters of George and Lennie Steinbeck opens his novella with some vivid description of a clearing by the river bed in the Salinas Valley, California. The two main characters, George and Lennie, enter into the clearing, simultaneously disrupting and engaging with the clearing’s natural setting.

George and Lennie are itinerant (wandering) farmworkers George and Lennie are itinerant (wandering) farmworkers. Look at the description of them on p19. Visually, how are they similar and how are they different?

What do we learn about their relationship from the following quotes? ‘Lennie, who had been watching, imitated George exactly.’ So you forgot that awready, did you? I got to tell you again, do I? Jesus Christ you’re a crazy bastard!’ ‘Think I’d let you carry your own work card?’ ‘Lennie’s closed hand slowly obeyed.’ ‘Good boy.’

Understanding the Text Why does George tell Lennie to keep quiet when they first get to the ranch? What is the significance of George’s reference to ‘the bad things…like you done in Weed.’ When Lennie remembers what happened in Weed, the narrator describes how he ‘exploded triumphantly.’ Why is this an effective choice of words? Do you think that George resents Lennie? Support your answer with evidence from the chapter.

True or False Lennie returns from gathering wood for the fire with a secret mouse. When George demands that Lennie give him the mouse, the narrator compares Lennie to a Labrador. Lennie rejected the rubber mouse that Aunt Clara gave him because it scared him. Lennie likes his beans with Mayonaise. George resents the burden that Lennie represents and sometimes wishes he could be free to live his life as he pleases. Lennie got them both into trouble at their last town, Weed. He tried to stroke a girl’s dress because it felt like a mouse. George feels guilty after ranting on about how Lennie so often gets them into trouble. George offers to leave Lennie and go and live alone in a cave.

Answers to True or False False (a terrier) False (‘It wasn’t no good to pet’) False (ketchup) False (Lennie offers to leave George)

Lennie as an Animal In Chapter One, Lennie is compared to a number of different animals. Find examples of these comparisons and explain their usefulness in Steinbeck’s portrayal of the character of Lennie.

He gonna leave ya all alone… Quick Question To what extent can Lennie be described as manipulative in this chapter? Support your answer with evidence from the text. He gonna leave ya all alone…

Dreaming What is George and Lennie’s shared dream? What picture of the future does George depict? What is Lennie’s favourite part of the dream?

Consolidating Your Understanding What are the main events of the chapter? Suggest 2-3 things about the relationship between George and Lennie. Suggest what you consider to be the most important feature of the chapter and explain your answer.

Final Questions: Continue for H/Wk From reading Chapter One, what do we learn about the relationship between George and Lennie? How does Steinbeck use language to depict the complex relationship between George and Lennie in Chapter One? How does Steinbeck make us want to read the rest of the story, having completed Chapter One?
