George Milton inOf Mice and Men
... When describing George Milton in Of Mice and Men, one cannot portray him as a person who does things for only one reason. ... George has a strong sense of duty when it comes to tending to Lennie and his job. George has been “burdened” with the task of taking care of Lennie. The book doesn’t specifically say how Lennie was dumped with George, but George feels he has a moral obligation to take care of Lennie as Lennie’s Aunt Clara would. George also has a responsibility to keep his and Lennie’s job. Wherever George goes Lennie must also, and vice versa.
