INTS YOU RECEIVED FROM ANSWERING! Can someone help me create a good conclusion for this?
In the book Mice and Men, dreams are a driving theme as well as a form of characterization. This novel specifically focuses on “The American Dream”. Each character has their own dream. At one point or another, each of these characters’ dreams are ruined by one force or another.
Steinbach most likely used dreams as a driving theme to really explain each character’s viewpoint and feelings. He also may have done this to justify each character’s actions throughout the book. Along with this, he may have wanted to be able to create tension and conflicts in different places in the novel.
Dreams symbolize each character’s goal in life and how it is unattainable from most if not all means. The characters in this book all have one dream or another, yet none of them are capable to fully (for some characters, not even partially) fulfilling that dream. Along with that, I feel like the constant deaths in the book represent the feebleness of life in general.
I believe many authors use dreams as symbolism to create a drive for their characters. In this book, George and Lenny’s dream is to have a farm (Lenny mostly wanting to tend to the rabbits. This dream is ruined by a large series of events, for example, Lenny killing the Rabbit, Lenny killing Candy’s dog, Lenny killing Curly’s wife, and George killing Lenny.
In conclusion, dreams are the driving theme and characterization in the novel. They help explain each character's motivation for the actions they take and the way they feel. All of the characters have a obstacles in their life stopping them from reaching their goal. Authors use dreams to give their characters something to live for and strive for. Without the character's dreams and goals for the future, the characters would have nothing to work towards and they would be much less complex
