Of Mice and Men Chapter 4

When Crooks asks Lennie why he is in the barn at night, Lennie states, “I come to see my pup” (69). Yet he stays in Crooks’ doorway, even after Crooks says he is not welcome and tells him to go back to the bunk-house. The most likely reason Lennie doesn’t leave is that…

• Lennie is hiding from Curley.

• Candy made Lennie angry by threatening to harm the rabbits.

• George is in town with the men, and Lennie is lonely.

• Crooks asked Lennie to help him treat a mule.
