George is a wise man, practical, knowing his strength, knowing what is possible, what is illusory, but he also has trivial hopes that lie, lie to himself, as most of them We all had it. George is a friend and protector of Lennie, a foolish and innocent child, but of extraordinary health. The friendship of George and Lennie contributes to strengthening both of their dreams of a vague future, of the land they will buy to grow, raise pigs or cows, chickens and rabbits, to be collected. plan what they cultivate on their own, to escape from a lifetime to work as hired laborers everywhere.

Then the characters come in, talk and monologue, gradually expressing their personalities as well as adding more about the social context, thereby bringing the episode to the climax, and finally ending with a tragedy. . The final scene returns to the original scene as if closing a life cycle: it is still the afternoon of California, also the pink hills in the sun, the deep blue puddle of the Salinas, with herons, the water snake, willow dust, rows of corn plants, a path, and a pile of ashes of many fires in the past.

Personal names speak to the characters&#; characteristics or inner thoughts: Small and Candy and Curley and Slim and Crooks, or a very common name like George, and even anonymous as the only female in the story. . They know what they want, and they often fail, but they will confess to others to be shared. Candy wants to shoot his old dog by himself so that it doesn&#;t have to be miserable, instead of letting strangers shoot. He confided to George, from then on instilling in him the idea that he must be definitive when it was necessary to make a final decision so that others could not harm his friend. Economic circumstances and social prejudice.

We are all George and Lennie, Candy and Crooks and unnamed daughters almost a century ago. They are still present in the world, on the landfill of civilization and prosperity close to the chaotic chaos at the beginning of this millennium. Are the things that happen to them the same as the illusory, but not impossible, of our mice and humans? Could it be something else that can&#;t be helped?
