Candy: An aging ranch handyman, Candy lost his hand in an accident and worries about his future on the ranch.Lennie walks heavily, dragging his feet a little, “the way a bear drags his paws,” adding that his arms do not swing at his sides, but hang loosely. Steinbeck defines his appearance as George’s “opposite”, writing that he is a “huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes” and “wide, sloping shoulders”. His love for soft things is a weakness, mostly because he does not know his own strength, and eventually becomes his undoing. He dreams of “living off the fatta’ the lan'” and being able to tend to rabbits. Lennie Small: A mentally disabled, but gigantic and physically strong man who travels with George and is his constant companion.He has a dark face and “restless eyes” and “sharp, strong features” including a “thin, bony nose”.

His friendship with Lennie helps sustain his dream of a better future. George Milton: A quick-witted man who is Lennie’s guardian and best friend.
