Differences Between Of Mice and Men Play and Book The play did a superb job on effectively depicting the book, though there were a few differences that stood out. There were many differences in showing Curley’s Wife. For example, the book doesn’t mention Curley’s wife ever leaving the farm to go act in pictures.

Curley’s wife and Lennie were the major characters that were affected. Many of their actions were changed or even completely left out of the play. There was a scene that added more to the plot than the book, but it wasn’t a significant one. The play could’ve been more closely related to the play, but overall the play did a great job at both being enjoyable and representing the
