The Bromance of Gennie


      Gennie aka the ship name for George and Lennie have a complicated and confusing relationship throughout the story Of Mice and Men written by John Steinbeck. A bromance is a strong friendship between two males that would consider themselves as brothers. For many people, describing the Gennie relationship as a bromance might be seen as a big stretch but to say their relationship is fake is an even bigger one.

                         Above are pics of some iconic friendships that can be considered as bromances. 

     What they all have in common is that they all have strong friendships but they also face many disagreements and arguments too. For example, Sully and Mike went through big fights during their time in university. Buzz and Woody fought a lot about the decision to either leave or stay at the daycare. Shrek and Donkey fought many times over their friendship as well. These relationships between characters are very well built and in the end, the friendship between them always wins which shows how powerful these bromances are.
     In Of Mice and Men, George can be very rude and especially impatient when it comes to Lennie but underneath that, George really seems to care about Lennie and does things in support of his well being. If George really didn't give any care towards Lennie than he would have probably continued his journey without him because Lennie is a big disadvantage when it comes to finding and keeping jobs because of his disabilities. George didn't want Lennie to leave and that demonstrates his attachment and care for him which can also be seen as a type of bromance between the two.

      As for the part when George threw the mouse from Lennie's hands, lets face it, that mouse most  likely had some type of unsafe infectious disease, and all George was trying to do was save Lennie from it which again shows forth another example of the underlying affection of care George has for Lennie.
