Breakdown

George Milton
He is a caring, compassionate, and understanding human being who dreams of owning his own piece of land. Physically, he is a small and intelligent man with strong features. He is Lennie's cousin.

Lennie Small
The obedient friend of George. He has a child’s mind and a giant’s body. He has an intellectual disability, and relies upon George. It is these contrasting qualities and his impulsive nature that cause him problems.

Old Candy
One of the lonely ranch workers. He is missing a hand, working as a ‘Swamper’.

Crooks
A black ranch hand. He is sensible and neat, with a mind of his own. He is a lonely character, who is discriminated against, due to his race.

Slim
A ranch worker with leadership qualities. He commands respect from all on the ranch.

Curley
The boss’ son who was a boxer. He is short, stocky, and thinks he is better than all the others. He picks fights with everybody on the ranch.

Curley’s wife
The only woman on the ranch. She is very flirtatious.

Carlson
A brutal man. He objects to Candy keeping his old dog.

Whit
A ranch worker.

The Boss
A ‘nice fella’ (in Candy’s words). He is more concerned about his work on the ranch than anyone else.
