What does the boss assume about George and Lennie? Why does he jump to this conclusion? What does this tell you about the way people are treated, and the relationships of itinerant workers?

The boss assumes that Because George is more powerful than Lennie, and because they travel together, that George is only taking control over and using Lennie to get his pay. This says that the boss doesn't have much trust in his workers, and that people don't normally care for each other in these times.

The boss also assumes that George must be taking advantage of Lennie as he never lets Lennie answer anything on his own, or thinks for himself. |

I believe that the boss was also assuming that George was taking advantage for Lennie's mental disability to get his pay, not just the fact that Lennie never speaks for himself. |

The boss thinks that George is "taking his pay away from him" (away from Lennie) because it was rare for to men to travel with each other and look out for one another. This shows that workers were treated badly and only looked out for themselves, there was no brotherhood or trust, the men just wanted to get the job done, by themselves.

The reason for this though is because George didn't trust Lennie to speak to the Boss when they first went for the job. |

It also shows that if people do things that aren't expected they will be questioned and even less likely to be trusted. |
