How Did Lennie Become Crushed In Of Mice And Men

If there were more written to Of Mice and Men, the characters would change due to the impact Lennie's death caused. When Carlson says, “Now what the hell ya suppose is eatin’ them two guys” (Steinbeck 107), he is referring to George and Slim. This implicates that George and Slim are torn over Lennie’s death. George would most likely get PTSD from having to shoot Lennie. Also, George will most likely obtain other mental illnesses from the experience such as depression or an anxiety disorder. He will later live his life the way he told Lennie he would when he would be “giving him hell” after Lennie did a bad thing. Candy may possibly also get depression, not just on account of Lennie’s death, but also because George decides that they can not

Lennie is mentally retarded and in this time period he would be beaten in prison. The judges in court would have treated Lennie unfairly because of the time period and his mental condition. George didn't want Lennie to be mistreated so

Lennie is attached to George because he needs him to survive but George also has an attachment to Lennie because he is terrified of living without him since he had always never had to focus on anyone else when he was with Lennie because of how consuming Lennie was therefore George will stick with Lennie through everything in life for a sense of security. Lennie and George were inseparable, and anyone from an outside perspective could see that. When George and Lennie first interview with the new boss, we can see George's protectiveness over Lennie as he answers all of the questions for him. On page 21, every time the boss tries to talk to Lennie, George answers for him. The boss says “You too” to Lennie while asking him about his previous work at Weed.

Everyone has dreams, big and small. When one dreams, there is a scent of whimsical hope in the air mixed with the powerful drive for success to obtain their luminous goals. But, many times these luscious dreams end up in grief and pain instead of a promised joy due to the hurdles in life, such as the certain circumstances that society professes or the flaws in a person that restrains them from their aspirations. The writer, John Steinbeck, incorporates this ideology in his novella, Of Mice and Men by creating three pivotal characters. Lennie, Crooks, and George all have schemes that go wrong, and yet hope to illustrate their desires of fulfilling their American Dream and to be prosperous for their own independent purposes.

First off, Lennie tended to act younger. He had the mentality of a small child, and George didn’t feel like it was good for him. “Lennie smiled with this bruised mouth. ‘I didn't want no trouble,’ he said. He walked toward the door, but just before he came to it, he turned back. ‘George?’ ‘What you want?’ ‘I can still tend the rabbits, George?’ ‘Sure. You ain't done nothing wrong.’ ‘I di'n't mean no harm, George.’” (Stienbeck 53) Even though he “Didn’t mean any harm,’ he still did harm and George knew it would have gotten worse. George knew Lennie better than anyone and only wanted the best for them both.

To become successful you must overcome to obstacles, and continue to work hard even when giving up seems to be an easier solution. Lennie and George are two migrant workers who dream of owning a ranch some day. They are now going to go work at a new ranch in Soledad,California. Escaping from the weed, thanks to Lennie’s childlike behavior for soft items. Hoping this time George and Lennie will get enough money to buy a ranch. John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men effectively uses the literary devices of conflict,foreshadowing and symbolism in an attempt to reveal how some dreams that will not come true,no matter how much hard work and effort is put into it and is easier if you just give up.

Ever since humanity has come into existence, the world has allowed dreams to blossom into beautiful flowers or be rejected and die like a fly swatted in a household. Each dream may end in a success or a tragedy, but it is up to the discretion of the cruel, but rewarding world humans inhabit. In the novel of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, a myriad of characters all have dreams that they passionately want to fulfill. Curley’s wife, who remains unnamed in the book, has a dream of becoming Hollywood’s biggest star. Crooks, the black stable-hand only dreams of being able to have friends and be seen as an equal to others. Lennie and George are a pair of migrant workers who want to live the American dream and have their own ranch. Each of these characters’ dreams were all torn down by the world, illustrated by Steinbeck as a cruel place where dreams cannot come true, no matter how passionate a person may be.

In John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men, most characters fantasize about an ideal future. Lennie's fantasy of a farm shared with George, "Tell about what we're gonna have in the garden and about the rabbits in the cages and..." (Steinbeck 15) which George encourages but does not believe, shows Lennie's belief that he and George have a lasting future together. George, who shares the dream of that farm, knows that their dream is impossible, but still indulges in the fantasy with Lennie. When George is forced to kill Lennie, George's fantasy is destroyed. Before Lennie's death, Lennie and George successfully spread their fantasy to other ranch hands, including a black ranch hand, Crooks, making the fantasy begin to seem like reality

Very often, people leave behind their dreams for more practical solutions to dismal situations. In Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men, dreams often serve the purpose of giving characters new opportunities. Dreams are also typically unattainable, yet characters in the novel spend much of their time trying to achieve them. Because the Depression era was so destitute, Lennie and George’s dream is a positive distraction from their seemingly hopeless situation. These reasons expose a deeper, more tragic truth of the era. Lennie and George's dream affirms that dreams are often unattainable distractions from real life.

Dreams give a person hope, and hope makes life worth living. In Of Mice and Men, the author John Steinbeck chooses dreams as one of his central themes. As the reader digs deeper into the story and characters, the theme of dreams expands as the novel goes on. Lennie and George held on to their dream of moving to a farm. Even though George had his doubts, he kept the dream alive for Lennie. Candy, the swamper, is a dreamer too. He wanted to escape his miserable life working on the ranch to go with George and Lennie to their dream farm. Many of the characters in the novel had dreams about their future. Lennie, George, and Candy wanted to move to a farm, and Curley’s wife wanted to be admired. All of these characters were examples of how John Steinbeck

Have you ever had a dream? “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them” - Walt Disney. The story of mice and men had many dreamers from owning a farm to being in the movies, to even just getting someone to talk to. In the story we find the lost dream of Curley's wife and how unhappy she is living. we also find out about George’s and Lennie’s dream that gives them reason to live and work as they do. One last thing we hear is how draw in people are to George and Lennie’s dream. These dreams are the push they need to keep going.

At the same time, while the dream may never be realized, Of Mice and Men suggests that in order for life to be full and meaningful, it must contain dreams. George and Lennie never achieve their dream, but the dream holds their remarkable friendship together. Their dream is real because it's real in their imaginations. The dream keeps Lennie happy and stops George from becoming "mean" and lonely like most ranch hands. The dream gives them life, even if life never allows them to achieve their

Hopes and dreams can be very important for peoples’ needs and survival. In Steinbeck’s story, Of Mice and Men, each of the main characters is driven by their hopes and dreams; it provides a sense of motivation and animation to each of their being. From Lennie and George being driven by their hopes and dreams of owning a farm, to Curley’s wife’s dreams of becoming an actress, having dreams plays an essential role in giving hope to the characters of Steinbeck’s story. Although dreams and hopes are essential themes in Steinbeck’s story, in a sense, Steinbeck does seem to emphasize that dreams are not meant to be achieved, and that there are other factors that are essential for survival. I believe Steinbeck included their dreams to give

One of the major themes of John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men is that having a dream creates hope, friendship, and determination, enabling one to strive onward in life with a sense of importance. Three major examples show this idea. The first example is Candy’s loss of his dog and his joining George and Lennie 's dream of owning land. A second example is Crook’s memory of his father’s
