Number of words: 1328 - Number of pages: 5.... a father figure and protector of the strong simple-
minded Lennie. Lennie's strength is his gift and his curse. Like the child he
is mentally, he loves animals, but he inadvertently crushes them to death.

Weakness Of Women In Hamlet
Number of words: 1102 - Number of pages: 5.... to Hamlet who was appalled by the speed with which his mother recovered from her widowhood. “Within a month, ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears had left the flushing in her gallèd eyes, she married.
