George And Lennie Lennie George

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...

Independence. A couple of acres, a cow and some
pigs. Lennie dreams of tending rabbits. With the

... Lennie makes the mistake, which leads to his
death. He strokes the hair of Curley's wife, at
her invitation, but does it too roughly; she
panics and tries to cry out, and Lennie shakes her
violently, breaking her neck. There is no proper
asylum for Lennie: Curley is vengeful, but even if
he could be restrained, Lennie would face life in
a degrading and cruel institution - a mental
hospital, prison or home for the criminally
insane. George's killing of Lennie, supported by
Slim is the most me...

in order to follow or meet that dream, one must
