Of Mice and Man Sophie Nantel
2- Even though Lennie’s brain capacity is limited, he shows the profile “inquirer” in many
different ways. For example, Lennie often asked A LOT of questions about his
surroundings and their life to George. Even their future life. For example, Lennie often
seeks clarification from George about their dream of owning a farm, asking detailed
questions about the animals they will keep and the different vegetable and plants they will
grow. He’s also always looking for understanding of situations, such as when George
asked him to not talk during the job interview. He automatically asks why, not
understanding, and what he should do instead. To finish, as a reminder, Lennie has some
memory problems, which makes him forget things, instruction, or explanations. His
forgetfulness didn’t decrease his curiosity, it fueled it. He always approached the situation
the same eagerness and excitement as if it was the first time anyone explained it to him.
