Lennie

• Lennie has little memory, but the story of their dream is one he knows by heart.

  • While George never really believes in this farm, Lennie embraces it with childlike enthusiasm. (Reality vs the American Dream)
  • Every time he makes George tell their story, his enthusiasm excites George, too.
  • Lennie's innocence keeps the dream alive, but his human imperfection makes the dream impossible to realize
