Answer:

George Milton and Lennie Small are two main characters in the novel 'of mice and men' who develop a deep friendship in depression-era America. Lennie is incredibly powerful physically but has the mind of a child. George is very smart but life has not been very kind to him and he has no home, no money. As the friendship develops between the two, Lennie starts idolizing George, and George knows that without him, Lennie wouldn't be able to survive and he must take care of him. This brings out the vulnerability in George. This relationship between the two tests George's psyche and, in many ways, allows him to be more human.
