Of mice and men; places and their significance I chose to write about the pool in the beginning of the book and the bunkhouse. I have chosen the pool because it is a calm and relaxing place, like a paradise compared to the bunkhouse. The bunkhouse is a simple building with as little money spent on it as possible and no effort to make it comfortable for the workers living there.

In the novel, ‘Of mice and men’, Steinbeck presents ideas and relationships on the ranch very topical and current of the time the novel is set. This is first evident with the hierarchy presented on the ranch.

This creates an image of the Boss’ literal figure blocking the sunlight into the room, which could symbolise the freedom of not being dedicated…
