The Story:
Two drifters, George and his friend Lennie, have just arrived at a ranch
to
| work for enough money to buy their own place. Lennie is a man-child--"with
the strength of a gorilla and the mind of an untutored child"--a
little boy in the body of a dangerously powerful man. It's Lennie's obsession
with things oft and cuddly that have made George cautious about whom the
gently giant, with his brute strength, associates with. But when a ranch
boss' promiscuous wife if found dead in the barn with a broken neck, its
obvious that Lennie, albeit accidentally, killed her. Realizing they can't
run away anymore, George is faced with a moral question: how should he
deal with Lennie before the ranchers find him and take matters into their
own hands. |
