Of Mice and Men By John Steinbeck

Background Of Mice and Men was published in 1937. It tells the story of two migrant workers, George and Lennie. The story generated many criticisms because of its use of vulgarities and how it condemned the ranch owners and their treatment of migrant and minority workers.

Characters George Milton Lennie Small (oxymoron) Candy Slim Curley and The Boss Curley’s wife Crooks (pun) Candy’s dog Carlson, Whit, and Aunt Clara

Character types Dynamic Static Digressing Protagonist Antagonist

Themes Human companionship The joys and pains of friendship Weakness and mental disabilities Fate and its consequences attached to irony

Development Of Mice and Men was Steinbeck’s attempt at writing a “play-novelette.” It is structured in three acts of two chapters each. It is truly considered a novella, but because of its unique story development, it can be considered a play as well.
