Lennie vs. George

John Steinbeck describes George as "small and quick, dark of face, with restless eyes and sharp, strong features... small strong hands, slender arms, a thin bony nose" (Steinbeck 2). George and Lennie are opposites. John Steinbeck uses many describing words about Lennie. "Behind him walked his opposite, a huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, with wide, sloping shoulders; and he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws. his arms did not swing at his sides, but hung loosely" (Steinbeck 2). George and Lennie are also very different personality wise. George is very demanding and careful, but Lennie is shy and not very careful.
