@ Mark Wow, that is a very sophisticated understanding of the relationship. You are exactly right in saying that George "ostensibly" controls Lennie. But it's true that indirectly, Lennie controls George's behavior as well because George feels he has to help Lennie when he gets in trouble and he can't "discard" him. As word choices, ostensibly, fetters and discard; are exactly right for the context. I especially like "fetters" with its suggestion that the two men are chained together, if not literally, definitely figuratively. Very impressive.
