| Abstract: | In the novel “Of Mice and Men”, John Steinbeck resonates with the people’s endurance when subjected to social injustice. The characters, George and Lennie, are closely delineated by analogy to animals, as being either weak or powerful. They are being entrapped like rodents, yet they are potentially strong as a socio-‘professional’ group. More than in Steinbeck’s other books, in this one the individual tragedy is manifest. |
