- The other characters look to Slim for advice, for example Slim is the only person George tells that Lennie isn't his cousin, people put their trust in him
- Seems to be a kind character, represents a sympathetic influence in an otherwise hostile environment
- Described as "hell of a nice fella" by Candy.
- George instantly confides in Slim, shows that the people who work on the ranch are able to trust him
- Slim complements Crooks at his ability to play the game "Horseshoes" without being prejudicial towards him like all the other characters

- Slim is described as "The Prince of the ranch"
- This shows that he has all the power of the royal family, but does not have to deal with the responsibility of a king (would be the boss in this instance)
- He is a mule driver, seems to be the only character at peace with himself.
- He is the role of the sympathetic person during 1930's America, a rare type of person when people are fighting for the few jobs and little money
