George: George is the story's main protagonist, a small, quick man with well-defined features. A migrant ranch worker, George dreams of one day saving enough money to buy his own place and be his own boss, living off of the land. The hindrance to his objective is his mentally handicapped companion, Lennie, with whom he has traveled and worked since Lennie's Aunt Clara, whom George knew, died. The majority of George's energy is devoted to looking after Lennie, whose blunders prevent George from working toward his dream, or even living the life of a normal rancher. Thus, George's conflict arises in Lennie, to whom he has the ties of long-time companionship that he so often yearns to break in order to live the life of which he dreams. This tension strains George into demonstrating various emotions, ranging from anger to patience to sadness to pride and to hope.
He's like a father figure to Lennie, and is Lennie's guide and carer throughout the book because he makes Lennie's decisions and helps get him work because he feels bad for how he treated him in the past for almost killing him.
George is the mature, regular man on the ranch, which is why his name is just a regular name which doesn't say much about his character, unlike other characters like Lennie Small; 'small' being a juxtaposition of his strength.
In the story, Of Mice and Men, George is described to be a smart, short man who is protective of Lennie.
