The men of mice and men sometimes did not know there own strengths, some did not even know their own weaknesses. This one character named Lennie is probably the main character who has this problem. Lennie's strength makes him do really outrageous things. Lennie's weakness lets people take advantage of him etc... Lennie is a big guy but he has a disablity that seems as if it controls his head you will soon find out.
Lennie having a disability and being big often plays a role in his actions. Well the first thing I will talk about is when Lennie was not able to control his own strength. Lennie loved little animals and when slim would let him stay and play with the puppy he would pet it and play with it as if it was his own. One day he did not know his own strength and he started petting the puppy he petted it to hard and he killed it! He then knew he did a bad thing and he tried to hide it. That showed how he does not know his own strength.
Lennie's disability often lets people take advantage of him. A couple of people knew that such as George and Curley's wife. If you read the book your probably saying George! George knew he could tell Lennie what to do, and how to do it and he would listen. No matter what, what ever George said went. Curley's wife also knew that Lennie had a disability every time she had a question or needed someone to talk to she went after Lennie, she knew Lennie was not smart enough to turn away from her trap and she kept trying to use it to her advantage.
As I said Lennie often does not know his own strength or weaknesses. At times he lets people take advantage of him and at time he does things he cant even explain. Lennie is a big guy with a different type of way of handling things.
