Commentary:
Early in the novel, we learn that
Lennie inappropriately touched a
womans skirt, an action which
resulted in George and Lennie being
fired. Lennies actions have caused
problems for the pair before;
therefore, it is reasonable to
assume that his actions will cause
problems again in the future.
