Of Mice and Men
In the novel, "Of Mice and Men" dreams are a very important, recurring motif in thetext. For example, George and Lennie both want to own a ranch together when they get the money. Lennie especially want's to have a ranch filled with bunnies, Curly's wife wants to be famous and be well known and Crooks in how all he want's is equality because he is black. In this essay it will be described and shown how these dreams that these people have, have been important to each specific character. George and Lennie want to own a wonderful ranch together when they get the money they need. Lennie is somewhat mentally challenged. He likes mice, and bunnies mostly. He is very big, strong, hard working and does what he is told, therefore he would be able to handle the crops and all the "heavy lifting" that had to be done all day. George was small and in charge. Lennie listened to him and looked up to George like a father. George and Lennie want a room too their selves, describes Candy and she say's, "We gonna have dogs an' rabbits an' chickens. We're gonna have green corn an' maybe a cow or a goat." It's good for Lennie to stride for a dream like this because if he didn't want to do anything and he just let his metal illnes
Crooks wanted to have the same rights that all of the other ranch hands have. Crooks needs to hold his head up high and not let those guys get to him and keep that dream of having his equality. Curly's wife wants to be rich, famous and have everything she want's. " Crooks sleeps in the barn alone every night because he is black, not with all the other guys like everyone else in the ranch he is by himself and for what? Nothing, absolutely nothing he really gets jerked around. She want's to be something so she decided that she had to marry Curly because she wasn't going to get anywhere staying with her "ol' lady. Crooks is a black Negro who slept in the barn. " She went out with a guy once in The Riverside Dance Palace and he said that she was a natural actor and that he was going to put her into the movies, he also said that he would write her when he got to Hollywood but he never did. Crooks should just keep on thinking that he should be just as equal as any of them. Everyone hates him because he is black. If they gave him a chance to let him come into the bunkhouse and be a part of "the guys" like the rest of them and not make him feel like he has to sleep out in the barn knowing that they all hate him then they would actually see that he is a really good guy and they shouldn't be that prejudice and stereotypical of him. She got the eye goin' all the time on everybody. Crooks might even be a better worker or thinker then one of the white men but they still treat him like a horse in the barn that's dirty and smells. It's the whole reason why they came to town to get money and save up for their dream ranch that they want.
