With the dream of owning their own land one day, they plan on working there for a few months in hopes of Lennie not getting into trouble again. Lennie does not know his own strength and often gets himself into difficult situations without completely understanding what he did wrong.

Friendship is pointless. No matter what these relationships end in either tragedy or heartbreak, but without them we are motiveless. Throughout the story of Of Mice and Men lots of relationships are lost and lots are made, showing that although purposeless, we still need these friendships. In his novel Of Mice and Men John Steinbeck uses indirect characterization to reveal how we as humans are always in need of a companion for without them you will be lonesome and purposeless, but these companionships prove to be fragile and you are prone to losing them.
