gEORGE MILTON

“But you get used to goin’ around with a guy an’ you can’t get rid of him.”

He is the main character in the story and the symbolic of "the everyman" (average person who is found everywhere and whose feelings and actions are neither exceptional nor terrible). He's also the only family Lennie has. He's full of patience with him and together they embodie friendship or brotherhood. Lennie and him complete each other.

He symbolizes childhood and innocence as well as a state of helplessness. He's symbolic of the archetypal "wise fool", who is mentally inferior but able to reveal the best and the worst of others.

That was a bad idea...

You... kind of died there... Sorry, but The Story Killer found you behind the sofa.

We can give you two choices right now, after all you're not really dead. So you can either go back to your arrival in this world or go back where everything went wrong.

go back to my arrival

Return to the bad choice i made

where do you want to look at ?

You're looking out of the window

You can see George and the other workers playing horseshoes outside... and Lennie jumping up a barrier and running away...

But you don't have time to think, you can hear footsteps coming your way, hurry !

the door is locked...

...and you hear footsteps from the staircase you came from ! Someone is coming upstairs, you have to make a choice :

Let's try to find another way to get out of here.

Hoping it's leading outside...

You can see Lennie running in the fields while the other workers are playing horseshoes... Did he already killed Curley's wife ?

Let's take a look in the barn, maybe it's not this chapter and just a coincidence...

No time to think I have to follow Lennie.

That was a bad idea...
