Book Info
Name: Of Mice and Men
Author: John Steinbeck
Date of publication: 1937
Rating: ★★★★
Favorite character: George Milton (the way he took care of Lennie, but at the same time he was an optimistic and realistic person... I loved that)
Favorite secondary character: Candy
Favorite part: That time when George, Lennie and Candy were all making plans to get the land and build a house and simply be free. That was optimistic!
Favorite quote:
“I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that's why.”
Least favorite character: Curley's wife...
Least favorite part: Well, obviously the end, when Lennie accidentally kills the puppy and that woman comes and just messes everything else up. Though, by killing the puppy, Lennie knew he was in trouble.
Name: Of Mice and Men
Author: John Steinbeck
Date of publication: 1937
Of Mice and Men has these amazing
characters. But more important than the characters themselves, is their
significance in the historical background. It is a classic, so there is not
much I can actually say about it that hasn’t been said before. I love Lennie
and how he is soft and destroyable. I loved how George tried to protect him
through everything, until the end. And there is something that will stay with
me forever: that is how Candy accepted to have his dog put down, only to avoid
seeing him suffer; just the same way George killed Lennie to avoid the lynch
that was coming his way.
I really enjoyed how Steinbeck used animals throughout the story. Most of them are always fragile: mice, puppies and rabbits. I think they are representing Lennie. He is also fragile, because of his innocence.
I hated Curley and his wife. First of all, she wasn't a great representation of women: she was a troublemaker and kinda slutty. And Curley was just insecure and was also looking for fights all the time.
I had to read this for school and we will analyze it next week...so I might add something else to this post later.
