George and Lennie have a rather unique and complex relationship. Both characters have different strengths and weaknesses, yet find a way to develop a mutual friendship that benefits each of them. Although George is physically smaller and weaker than Lennie, he is Lennie's guardian and feels a social responsibility to take care of him. In contrast, Lennie is a massive individual with a mental disability. He looks up to George and allows George to make decisions for him. Despite the fact that George has a tendency to yell at Lennie and criticize him, George truly cares about his friend's well-being.

Their friendship provides each other with a sense of belonging and companionship that other migrant workers do not have.
