In life, popular items become common symbols to people. For example, roses represent love. The novel “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck uses symbols to tell the story of George and Lennie. George and Lennie are migrant workers who are looking for work on a ranch in Salinas, California. On the ranch George and Lennie must work in order to obtain the farm of their dream, but an obstacle stops them. The symbols of hope, future death, and the weak help develop the theme of broken dreams.
Lennie and George always had a soft relationship with each other. When Lennie had a problem with one of the characters in the story, George would always back him up, so that he could keep Lennie out of trouble. This is basically a brother to brother setting …show more content…
The three symbolizations that I talked about for Lennie and George were true, but it officially changed as it followed throughout the book.

And the differences that were continuing on in the book finally took a halt, as George would pretend about Lennie and him would have the farm that they always loved. This would leave Lennie with joyous excitement, while George would see this as a saddened life and would shoot Lennie to clear up all of his troubles. The three symbolizations were a main part to George and Lennie. George and Lennie would still have the struggles and weaknesses that would still haunt them forever, but their friendship… it never really extended to the next level for better qualities between the two. I know that Lennie was having hard times in his life, including George with friendship, responsibility, trustworthiness, trouble, and hardships. If George would’ve been a lot more sensitive to Lennie and his feelings, he would have never had to think about killing him to save his burden and life. As for Lennie… he should’ve been less afraid about everything, and know what he was getting himself into before cooperating.
