I could go get a job an’ work, an’ no trouble. No mess at all, and when the end of the month come I could get my fifty bucks and go into town and get whatever I want.” It is obvious that George does not like caring for Lennie all the time and this could be an example of

When George discovers that Lennie has killed Curley’s wife, he ignores Candy’s pleas to maintain hope that their dream can come true, rather he begins to envision himself living the life of a lonely migrant farm worker. A quote that illustrates this belief can be found on page 93 where George states “I’ll work my month an’ I’ll take my fifty bucks an’ I’ll stay all night in some lousy cat house.
