George scolds Lennie for talking because he doesn't want employers to notice that Lennie has mental issues that leave his intellect behind, as this could prevent Lennie from being hired.

We can reach this answer through the following information:

  • "Mice of Men" is the book that tells the story of two friends George and Lennie who are agricultural workers.
  • They have the dream of buying their own farm and having a more peaceful life. So, they work together and collect the wages to buy this farm.
  • George is a very intelligent and coherent man, while Lennie is a very strong man, but with a diminished intellect.
  • This is because Lennie has mental problems, which make him slower and difficult to understand things.

George knows this can be a problem for Lennie to get a job and so he stops Lennie from talking to prevent employers from realizing he has problems and not wanting to hire him.

George does this too because he fears Lennie will be exploited, as he is so ingenious.
