Author : John Steinbeck

John Steinbeck is an American author, novelist and the 1962 Nobel Prize winner in Literature. He authored 33 works and sold nearly 100 million copies all over the world. His best-sellers, Of Mice and Men and The Grapes of Wrath account for over half of this amount . Through his keen observations of society, Steinbeck uses a sympathetic, humorous, and imaginative language approach to depict the humanity and the bravery of the lower-class to become their own “heroes”. Steinbeck’s novels were widely embraced by the American public and 17 of his stories were adapted by Hollywood.

Key Insights from Of Mice and Men

  • The theme of friendship is paramount in 'Of Mice and Men', illustrated through the bond between George and Lennie. Their relationship highlights the human need for companionship in a harsh, lonely world.
  • The American Dream is critically examined in the novel; George and Lennie's aspirations of owning land symbolize hope yet reveal the fragility of such dreams amidst societal challenges. Their ultimate fate underscores how economic struggles and personal limitations can thwart one's ambitions.
  • Isolation plays a significant role in the characters' lives, particularly with figures like Crooks and Curley's wife, who long for connection but face prejudice and loneliness. Steinbeck emphasizes that social barriers can create deep emotional scars, preventing true understanding and relationships.
