Theme of Of Mice and Men

Prejudice has clouded people’s judgment for millennials, and because of prejudice people couldn’t live the lives they truly wanted to. People would wake up everyday looking for a better life, but in the end getting nowhere. This is one of the themes of Of Mice and Men; prejudice can prevent people from getting support from others. John Steinbeck demonstrates this through the characters Curley’s wife, Crooks, and Candy.

First of all, Curley’s wife throughout the book is denied any respect. From the moment she is first introduced, she is insulted immediately by George saying,”what a tramp.” Everybody treats her like an outcast when all she wanted to do was talk to someone, as she demonstrated when she made Lennie

    Mahatma Ghandi once said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” This is a critical lesson that Steinbeck encourages readers to reflect on when it comes to discrimination or prejudice.

The novela describes a society in which it is extremely difficult to succeed in any type of vertical movement in society due to prejudice. Based on an individual’s personal insecurities and placement within different power levels, discrimination occurs based on race, age, gender and disabilities.…

Lennie is the dimwitted companion to George who dreams they are making the effort to achieve their goals, but continuously encounter roadblocks that preclude this dream, causing them inevitably to abandon it.

In this quote, Carlson suggests that Curley should leave his wife at home. He implies that she is inferior compared to the men and that she should stay at home, the only place where she is useful.…
