A Novella by John Steinbeck

Here are George Milton and Lennie Small, carrying their bindles, walking up to Curley’s father’s ranch. Notice that Lennie Small is not small at all. He’s a gentle giant who doesn’t know his own strength.

The Overall Time and Place: The Great Depression Salinas, California Curley’s father’s ranch Specific Places on or near the Ranch: The bunkhouse Crooks’ stable room The barn The brush by the river - (Lennie and George’s safe place)

First Chapter Final Chapter

George promises Lennie’s Aunt Clara he will look out for Lennie. Even after Lennie gets them run out of the town of Weed for touching a woman’s velvet dress, George is still willing to stick with Lennie. Slim understands that life is easier, better if you have a friend by your side. George is often frustrated, but this friendship keeps him less lonely than the other migrant workers. George commits a mercy killing, shooting Lennie after Lennie accidentally kills Curley’s wife in the final chapter before Curly and the men can hurt him.

Lennie loves to talk about their dream to own their own ranch. It seems like an impossible dream at first. Once Candy offers to put in his stake, money that he has from the accident that hurt his arm, the dream seems like it might come true. Crooks almost asks to be part of it, too. But he’s frightened off by the very lonely Curley’s wife; she shames him when he won’t let her into his room to join Lennie, Candy, and Crooks’ conversation. When do we know that the dream cannot and will not come true?

Lennie loves to touch soft things, but he is often destructive: - He touches a woman’s velvet dress without permission - He kills a mouse in his pocket - He kills Slim’s puppy All of these clues lead up to the dramatic CLIMAX: Lennie wants to touch Curley’s wife’s hair. When she asks him to stop, he cannot. She struggles and screams. He breaks her neck while trying to keep her from yelling and getting him in trouble.

Lonely: only woman on ranch Husband is mean and jealous; but cannot divorce BROKEN DREAM: She wanted to be a movie-star Yes, she’s a flirt, but Steinbeck wanted his readers to view her with sympathy and compassion.

Lonely: oldest man on ranch Doesn’t have the courage to kill his old, sick dog. Hand was broken in industrial accident No family Wants to join George and Lennie’s dream

Lonely: the only African- American on ranch Segregated; lives in stable room Uses liniment on his crooked back Lennie is the only one he opens up to. Afraid of Curley’s wife.

Pugnacious: he’s a boxer always looking for a fight, especially against guys bigger than him Father owns the ranch Lennie crushes his hand Jealous: Always looking for his wife Hunts down Lennie

Respected among the ranch hands; a leader on the ranch Has a strong, wise presence Understands why George stays with Lennie and why George kills Lennie. Shows George compassion after George kills Lennie

Dreams do not always come true. The American Dream was not within everyone’s reach during The Great Depression. Life is easier with a loyal friend by your side. Loneliness can break a person’s spirit, even make them mean. Broken dreams can also break a person’s spirit.
