Of Mice and Men When does the reader gain an early indication of Lennie's problem? Asked by bookragstutor 12 years ago 8/20/2012 10:23 AM Last updated by Jill W 4 years ago 12/10/2020 4:37 PM
The reader becomes aware of Lennie's disability early in the story. First, with the death of the mouse; second, when George chastises him for the episode in Weed, and also.... when George warns Lennie not to talk to the Boss.
