The central element of this novella is its
symbolism. This novella has plenty of symbolical
forms, such as people, creed, and some of the
animals. Candy has several terms of symbolism, for

advantage to others Lennie also for shadows this,
he is belittled of his mind but enormously

George And Lennie Lennie George
661 words
The aspect of the John Steinbeck novels, The Pearl
and Of Mice and Men, that is most comparable is
how, in both books, Steinbeck denies the main
characters of each book, Kino and George and
Lennie to change their role in life or to beat
fate. Steinbeck's grim outlook of life was perhaps
brought on through his early failures and poverty,
because all three of the pre-mentioned characters
had opportunities to change their fate or role but
failed. The elements of discussion are Kino,
George and Lenn...

Mice And Men Men On The Ranch
741 words
Loneliness The most terrible poverty is
loneliness, and the feeling of being unloved
(Mother Teresa). Loneliness is an easily
perceivable concept in John Steinbeck's Of Mice
and Men. It can be well understood by observing
the feelings and behaviors of the characters
George, Crooks, and Curly's Wife. Primarily,
constant affiliation with other people would not
result in loneliness. However, in Steinbeck's Of
Mice and Men a select group of characters find
themselves lost in a forgotten state of unc...

George And Lennie Curley Wife
355 words
Curley s wife in Of Mice and Men is given a fairly
one-dimensional portrayal throughout the novella,
as her character stays, for the most part,
enigmatic. The most obvious example would be her
lack of a name. She is continually referred to as
a possession of her husband and without a name she
becomes almost insignificant. The author, however,
drops hints throughout the book telling his
audience that there may be more to Curley s wife
than what is easily deduced. One scene involving a
sympathetic...

Grapes Of Wrath Mice And Men

The American Novelist, John Steinbeck was a
powerful writer of dramatic stories about good
versus bad. His own views on writing were that not
only should a writer make the story sound good but
also the story written should teach a lesson. In
fact, Steinbeck focused many of his novels, not on
average literary themes rather he tended to relay
messages about the many hard truths of life in The
United States. Upon winning the Nobel Peace Prize
in 1962 the Swedish academy introduced him by
saying He ...

but his face set and his hand steadied. He pulled
the trigger. The crash of the shot rolled up the

then settled slowly forward to the sand and he lay
without quivering. George shivered and looked at
