George
George was "small and quick" while Lennie was "huge with wide sloping shoulders"
Lennie
"Jesus Christ, you're a crazy bastard". George is easily annoyed at Lennie's stupidity.
"I could pet it with my thumb while we walked along" Lennie has a fondness for soft animals but he unintentionally kills them
Loneliness: "Guys like us who work on ranches are the loneliest guys in the world"
