Synopsis
Two migrant field workers in California on their plantation during the Great DepressionGeorge Milton, an intelligent but uneducated man, and Lennie Small, a man of large stature and great strength but limited mental abilitiesare on their way to another part of California in Sole-dad. They hope to one day attain their shared dream of settling down on their own piece of land. Lennies part of the dream is merely to tend to (and touch) soft rabbits on the farm. This dream is one of Lennies favorite stories, which George constantly retells. They are fleeing from their previous employment in Weed, California, where they were run out of town after Lennies love of stroking soft things resulted in an accusation of attempted rape when he touched a young wom-ans dress, and would not let go. It soon becomes clear that the two are close friends and George is Lennies protector. The theme of friendship is constant throughout the story.

Reserach of Book
Lennie Small: A mentally disabled, but physically strong man who travels with George and is his constant companion.[4] He dreams of living off the fatta the lan and being able to tend to rabbits. His love for soft things conspires against him, mostly because he doesnt know his own strength, and even-tually becomes his undoing.
Candy: An aging ranch handyman, Candy lost his hand in an accident and worries about his future on the ranch. Fear-ing that his age is making him useless, he seizes on Georges description of the farm he and Lennie will have, offering his lifes savings if he can join George and Lennie in owning the land. The fate of Candys ancient dog, which Carlson shoots in the back of the head in an alleged act of mercy, foreshad-ows the manner of Lennies death.Curleys wife: A young, pretty woman, who is mistrusted by her husband. The other characters refer to her only as Cur-leys wife. This lack of personal definition underscores this characters purpose in the story: Steinbeck explained that she is not a person, shes a symbol. She has no function, except to be a foil and a danger to Lennie.[4] Curleys wifes pre-occupation with her own beauty eventually helps precipitate her death: She allows Lennie to stroke her hair as an appar-ently harmless indulgence, only for her to upset Lennie when she yells at him to stop him mussing it. Lennie tries to stop her yelling and eventually kills her by recklessly breaking her neck.
George Milton: A quick-witted man who is Lennies guardian and best friend. His friendship with Lennie helps sustain his dream of a better future.

He dont give nobody else a chance to win--
Well, you aint bein kind to him keepin him alive.
I ought to of shot that dog myself, George. I shouldnt ought to of let no stranger shoot my dog.
Nobody never gets to heaven, and nobody gets no land.

A water snake glided smoothly up
the pool, twisting its periscope
head from side to side; and it swam
the length of the pool and came to
the legs of a motionless heron that
stood in the shallows. A silent
head and beak lanced down and
plucked it out by the head, and the
beak swallowed the little snake
while its tail waved frantically.
