Andrew Lincoln

          In the book "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck, George Milton plays a vital part in the book and is the protagonist. While George is extremely kindhearted he is also short-tempered and at times can be a bit tough on people. George has an unusual relationship with Lennie as he travels with Lennie always from ranch to ranch during the Great Depression. He is the protector of Lennie and feels that he is held responsible for him. George has a brotherly love towards him. He is the companion and best friend of Lennie Small. George used to be real harsh on Lennie and said things like “I can live so much easier without you.”, until he almost accidentally drowned him. George is described in the book as small, dark of face, and has restless eyes and sharp strong features. With these descriptions I can see George to be somewhat fit and potentially not fed well, dark of face could represent that he is not properly cleaned, tired and a good worker. His restless eyes are aware and could be frightened. George can also be portrayed as confident and handsome from having sharp strong features. Milton continuously shows the reader that he can clearly think and plan things out, from getting the job on the new ranch to planning out how they will achieve their American dream (can fully sustain themselves on their own). If George Milton was a real person I would think of him to be quite similar to Andrew Lincoln (see picture above).
