Setting the scene Steinbeck takes great care to set the scene in a very vivid way, almost as though the story is a movie, rather than a novel. Re-read the description of George and Slim’s conversation, from the start of Section Three to Lennie’s entrance. Steinbeck creates a powerful contrast between the men chatting inside and the sounds of the game outside. Why do you think he does this? Why do you think George shares his story with Slim?

Dramatic tension Find some quotations that develop the level of tension and write them below. The first one has been done for you. 'The silence came into the room.' When Candy’s dog is taken away to be shot, Steinbeck creates a high level of dramatic tension in the room. The reader feels very tense, waiting to see what is going to happen.

Dramatic tension

The American Dream George, Lennie and Candy are searching for the fulfilment of ‘the American Dream’. Answer the following questions to show your understanding of this concept. What do you think the ‘American Dream’ is? At this stage in the novel, do you think they will manage to fulfil their dream? Why does Candy want to join their dream? What does Candy offer them as an incentive to accept him?

Re-read the description of Curley’s attack on Lennie, and Lennie’s defence of himself. Steinbeck uses animal imagery here. Find four examples of animal images and write them below. Why do you think Steinbeck uses these animal images in connection with Lennie? Animal imagery

Questions Why does Candy say 'I ought to of shot that dog myself, George. I shouldn’t ought to have let no stranger shoot my dog.'? Why does Curley agree to say he got his hand caught in a machine? What do you think will happen between Lennie and Curley now?
