- "I don't want you to yell. You gonnaget me in trouble jus' like George says you will. Now don't you dothat."
- "Let go. You let go!"
- For this scene, we have Lennie and George who have just recently ran away and found work. Lennie runs by the water and finds a mice that he grabs to pet and ends up killing it. This is a physical representation of how the strong overpower the weak because of the size comparison between Lennie and the puny mouse.
- In this scene, Lennie grabs his puppy that was born the night before. Since it is newly born it creates a clear observation that this puppy is too weak compared to Lennie, a full-grown man. This representation is another example of how the strong overpower the weak
- Lastly, the scene chosen here is Curley's wife's death. Lennie had decided to feel her hair because of how soft it was, which eventually took a drastic turn. He had held onto her hair so tightly that he had snapped her neck, killing her. If Curley's wife had been considered "strong" she could have potentially found a way out of Lennie's grip or negotiated to give him something else soft to pet. This representation is a sad setting to how the strong overpower the weak.
