Slim
“Slim don’t need to wear no high-heeled boots on a grain team.”
This quote is the description that Candy says to George and it describes Slim as a humble and strong willed character because Slim doesn’t need to act tough to be on a grain team; this instantly shows he must be quite strong overall to keep his wit around other people.
Furthermore the author when describing Slims describes him as “Godlike” and having an “understanding beyond thought”. So evidentially Slim is described as an almost omniscient character who’s opinions and being could be said as a comparative to the authors own feelings towards his work. Overall Slim is an intelligent and understanding character who thinks more seriously than for example Carlson who could be said as the average American at the time.
Because of this George trusts Slim with his past and appreciates Slims advice and understanding of what George and Lennie are going through.
