1: Theme of Friendship





In this novella, friendship isn鈥檛 discussed heavily. George and Lennie don鈥檛 talk about how they feel about each other or why they should stay loyal 鈥?they just stand by each other, and that鈥檚 that. It鈥檚 a very gruff, rough and tumble atmosphere, and though feelings aren鈥檛 talked about, you get the sense that the men take nothing more seriously than their friendship. For George and Lennie, as they make their way through the Depression, all they have is each other.

2: Theme of Dreams, Hopes, and Plans





In Of Mice and Men, dreams, hopes, and plans are the very foundation of what makes life worth living, but they are also double-edged. The closer one comes to fulfilling a dream, the closer one comes to potentially being disappointed. In this novella, dreams, hopes, and plans are not about realistic ambitions, but about finding a way to survive the Depression, even if it鈥檚 just filling your mind with visions that may not come true. Dreams don鈥檛 escape the general unhappy futility that seems to characterize this era of American history.
