So, more on George and Lennie's relationship. Even though they are friends, it's pretty obvious that George is the leader here. He's also kind of a parent to Lennie. I wonder if maybe Lennie didn't have parents. That would explain why he is still very childish his mental disability. Anyways, it seems that even when they have huge arguments, they eventually come back together. Maybe it's because it's so easy for George to convince Lennie. Friendship is another theme here in this book. They've got dreams, and what poor guy wouldn't. It's a little out proportion, but that's the whole point of a dream.
There's a part where George tells Lennie to come back to the river if there's any trouble. That just foreshadows the future. There's bound to be trouble waiting for them now, why else would the plot require them to have some sort of place they could come back to if anything happened.
Candy's name is awfully ironic since he's pretty much nothing like candy.
