Of Mice And Men Of Mice and Men In society we find it hard to accept difference even though it is all around us. But when an individual has countless distinctions, it can really affect our life. This is so true when it comes to the two characters known as Lenny and George. George and Lenny are the two main characters, but something sets them apart; Lenny is mentally disabled. Lenny know that he could be a bad boy and not listen, but I don’t know if he knew he actually grasps the concept that that people saw him as ‘different.’ The setting of this novel is between the 1920’s to the 1930’s a time period when people had little understanding of the mentally ill. Most of the time they were thrown in ghastly hospitals or just left to fend for themselves. Luckily for Lenny he had a friend who society labeled as ‘normal.’ Without this friend I am not too sure that Lenny would have survived. In the beginning of the book Lenny ‘threaten’ George with running away from him.
