I think all the men in the book thinks Lennie is a crazy bastard, or not bright. Even George think so, even if he cares for him. When George and Lennie comes to the ranch, George talks for Lennie. When he do that, everyone asks George if Lennie got a problem, but George says he got kicked in the head by a horse as little, and because of that ain’t bright.
Curley wants to beat Lennie because he don’t like big guys, but Candy don’t got anything against him as a person. I think its from person to person what they think about Lennie. The most of the guys thinks he is okay as a person, even if he is a crazy bastard.
Slim is the only person that have sympathy for George and Lennie. He see the difficult position they are in, and helps the two of them on the ranch. Crooks lies to Lennie, and I don’t think he respect him at all.
All this says that its many different point of views about how Lennie is, but the plot summary is that they think he is not bright, but okay as a person.
