Dreams in Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck A dream can be described as an ambition or the aspiration to reach a goal in life.

Have you ever had a dream? “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them” - Walt Disney. The story of mice and men had many dreamers from owning a farm to being in the movies, to even just getting someone to talk to. In the story we find the lost dream of Curley's wife and how unhappy she is living. we also find out about George’s and Lennie’s dream that gives them reason to live and work as they do. One last thing we hear is how draw in people are to George and Lennie’s dream. These dreams are the push they need to keep going.
One of the major themes of John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men is that having a dream creates hope, friendship, and determination, enabling one to strive onward in life with a sense of importance. Three major examples show this idea. The first example is Candy’s loss of his dog and his joining George and Lennie 's dream of owning land. A second example is Crook’s memory of his father’s
Dreams give a person hope, and hope makes life worth living. In Of Mice and Men, the author John Steinbeck chooses dreams as one of his central themes. As the reader digs deeper into the story and characters, the theme of dreams expands as the novel goes on. Lennie and George held on to their dream of moving to a farm. Even though George had his doubts, he kept the dream alive for Lennie. Candy, the swamper, is a dreamer too. He wanted to escape his miserable life working on the ranch to go with George and Lennie to their dream farm. Many of the characters in the novel had dreams about their future. Lennie, George, and Candy wanted to move to a farm, and Curley’s wife wanted to be admired. All of these characters were examples of how John Steinbeck
In Of Mice and Men, the hopes and dreams of the men on the ranch are a continuous focus and theme throughout the novel. John Steinbeck portrays the effects that dreams, or lack of them, have on the lives of the characters and the outcome of the novel. Steinbeck uses the concept of dreams at once to show hope and aspiration, as they invoke companionship with united determination for a better future, and to illustrate the difficulties of survival, with unrealised dreams illuminating the dark despair of society at that time.
One of the themes shown in the book Of Mice and Men written by John Steinbeck is hope given to characters by having a dream. There are characters that had ambition of having their own life where they could be independent. Lennie, George, Candy, and Curley’s wife are those characters who make up the dream theme, they all want something different than what they already have, this is their dream.
George’s dream was quite similar to Lennie’s. George had also wanted to have a small house with a little bit of land. “..we’d have a little house an’ a room to ourself. Little fat iron stove, an’ in the winter we’d keep a fire goin’ in it. It ain’t enough land so we’d have to work too hard. Maybe six, seven hours a day” (58). It seemed as if George liked to say the dream aloud just as much Lennie liked to hear it. George did not achieve this dream. After Lennie had killed Curley’s wife, George knew the dream would never happen. He had said to Candy, “I think I knowed from the very first. I think I knowed we’d never do her. He [Lennie] usta like to hear about it so much I got the thinking maybe we would” (94). George had ended up deciding that he will take his fifty bucks at the end of each month and spend it at a cat
She tries to accomplish her dream by talking to people, who probably don't want to talk to her. Third, Lennie has a dream of taking care of the rabbits at their possible future estate. He tries to accomplish this dream by being good to the puppy, because George told him he could take care of the rabbits if he takes good care of the puppy.
In the novel Of Mice and Men dreams are shown in different ways. They play different roles in lives of some of the characters, and show how they affect others around them. George and Lennie played a big in many of the character’s lives. On page 59 Steinbeck states, “ Candy said I ain’t much good with on’y one hand. I lost my hand right here on this ranch.
They say that Of Mice and Men is about the nature of human dreams and how forces work against their dreams. They said that the dream that Lennie and George have is so relevant that it is seen in 5 of the 6 chapters. Also they said that the dream means something different too George, Lennie, Crooks, and Candy. Also on the source it is said that each of these characters have to make a sacrifice for the dream to happen. It is said that there are internal and external obstacles.
However, most of the time dreams do not come true. But they are important to have, without dreams there would have nothing to strive for, and with nothing to strive for it's almost as if there is no purpose in life. If George and Lennie did not have the dream to one day have there own farm, what would have kept them going through the rigorous labor they were doing everyday. If the mouse did not have the “dream” of surviving the winter, what would have made it want to build the nest. Dreams are what keep people going, and that is clearly shown in both writings.
In the novella Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, George’s and Curley’s wife’s experiences prove that even when people plan carefully, their dreams do not always come true. 1st paragraph~ George: George has kept his dream of maintaining a friendship with Lennie through his good and bad times, but his dream eventually never becomes a reality, which declares Steinbeck’s theme of dreams never coming true. When Lennie was considering living by himself because he thought he was a burden to George, George stated, “‘I want you to stay with me, Lennie. Jesus Christ, somebody’d shoot you for a coyote if you was by yourself.
John Steinbeck created a book called ‘Of Mice and Men’, in his book he demonstrates the two main characters George and Lennie had a dream of buying their own property, dreams are important for people because I can help them achieve their dreams, and because it can push that person to work hard to accomplish that dream. George and Lennie are two pals from Northern of California from a town called weed, George and Lennie used to work at weed, Lennie’s aunt died so George has been taking care of him since she died. Dreams can affect people’s choices and decisions in many ways, one example is that when someone puts a dream in their mind their number one option is to achieve that dream, if someone doesn’t achieve that dream can affect that person’s choices and decisions.George and Lennie were at Salinas River and Lennie asked George to tell him the dream:
Dreams play a role in characters lives, and it affects the way they live throughout the story. Without dreams there is no motivation in life to succeed. Everyone's dreams and aspirations are different. George and Lennie’s dream is they are “Gonna get a little place an’ live on the fatta and lan”(p66).
