Extract

In both "Frankenstein" and "Of Mice and Men", there have been characters created who have been alienated from society.
We can compare the characters of the creature and Lennie; they are described as or given the image of their child like behaviour and thoughts, "His jaws opened, and he muttered some inarticulate sounds while a grin wrinkled his cheeks". This made the creature seem like a baby. This was in the part of the novel where the creature was created. Mary Shelley makes the creature seem like a baby and makes it so the creature sees Victor as a father to amplify the creature's feelings when he is rejected by Victor. "Blubberin' like a baby! Jesus Christ! A big guy like you." This shows Lennie's child like side. I think Steinbeck made Lennie more child like because it creates more sympathy for Lennie when George gets angry at him and when Curly hits him.
