Of Mice and Men--Is Lennie responsible for his bad behavior?

How can u justify he is not responsible with examples from the book? I need specific quotes or partsOf Mice and Men--Is Lennie responsible for his bad behavior?
He is not because he cannot make the distinction between right or wrong. For example, at the beginning of the book, they are run out of tow, becasue Lennie liked touching soft things so he touched this girls dress even though the girl clearly did not want him doing this. Also, he carries around a dead mouse for the same reason, you know liking to touch soft things, and that is clearly not ok, so George throws it away, and of course he accidentally kills Curleys wife, because he could not stop touching her hair and she did not want him to.So she starts yelling and in trying to shut her up, Lennie kills her.Of Mice and Men--Is Lennie responsible for his bad behavior?
No. Lennie is a mentally challenged person. If you read in the book he enjoys nice fuzzy // furry things like mice and hair.
no, its the authors fault
