There are many different approaches that could be taken
from this. In my mind, the most stunning element in the first section of the book would
have to be with the relationship between Lennie and George. So much of their
relationship is brought out in the opening that it is probably the most resonant element
from the first part. The dynamic between George and Lennie in terms of how they depend
on one another is evident. Lennie needs George, and George needs Lennie. We see that
the frustration that they undergo is sort of mollified by their companionship. George
demonstrates his ability to understand what makes Lennie happy and content. The
discussion of the farm, as well as a life that is fundamentally happier than the
existence both lead helps to underscore their relationship. When George and Lennie are
talking about "guys like us" and how their relationship is different than other migrant
workers, it helps to underscore that the community and shared connection of both is
fundamentally different than the world in which they inhabit.
