    In the novel Of Mice and MenJohn Steinbeck places a lot of characters as having free will and determinism when in all truth they have none. The author uses stereotypes and discrimination to convey a message of how they are trapped. To quote a quite distinguished reader‚ “Characters are ‘trapped’ either by what others think of them‚ or by their situation.” A lot of the character’s feelings about themselves and what others think of them shows the extent of their freedom and determinism. The characters

    thoroughly enjoyed Of Mice and Men. When I first picked up the book I told myself I was going to read the first twenty pages because that’s the type of reader I am and I ended up reading the first seventy-three. I couldn’t put the book down and I don’t know why. It’s not the type of book I would generally pick out‚ but Of Mice and Men stood out to me. One thing that stood out to me was the couple lines on page twenty-five. “”We travel together‚” said George coldly. “Oh‚ so it’s that way.” (Curley) George

    nobody." (pg.72) In John Stienback’s Of Mice And Men‚ Crooks was able to live a life filled with loneliness and persecution. He was shoved aside on the farm‚ ignored and alone. He endured the persecution against him because he was an African-American. Because Crooks existed in conditions that could drive one insane‚ he is a survivor. Crooks did not live in the bunkhouse with the other men‚ but lived in the harness room of the barn‚ alone. It was not only not living with the other men--they excluded him

    the novel‚ ‘Of mice and Men’‚ John Steinbeck uses allegory to represent different themes and messages. An allegory is a story‚ poem or a picture which can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning. While reading Steinbeck’s book I noticed different metaphors such as the usage of animals and Curley’s wife. Throughout the whole book the reader can notice many animals mentioned such as rabbits‚ mice‚ the puppy and the old dog. Curley’s wife is also a sort of symbol. She represents the way in which the

    characters that stand out as being weak in many different ways in the book with either physical or mental weaknesses‚ and occasionally both. Candy clearly is easily dictated as Carlson proved‚ but I think the presentation of Curley’s wife and Crooks is more intriguing. Steinbeck also presents Curley’s wife as a doll ’her hair hung in little rolled clusters‚ like sausages’ which has the effect of objectifying her. We also find out that Curley’s wife is used in the book. She was picked up by somebody who
