My first thought about John Steinbeck’s book ‘ Of Mice and Men’ is that it is one involving a journey of self-discovery, and this usually comes after a very devastating event that tends to disrupt one’s life and sap out all confidence.įrom the start of the book, we find our two main characters, George and Lennie, on a compulsory transit from Weed to Selinas, two different cities separated by several miles apart. ‘Of Mice and Men’ brings readers back on a reverse ride to the 1930s, when the economic and social realities were at their bleakest, and families have torn apart as a result of their breadwinners losing the grips on their source of livelihood following an overturn of the stock market, and an unprecedented dust storm.
