from place to place, in search of new job-opportunities, during the Great Depression in USA.
George - A quick-witted man, who is Lennie's guardian and best friend. His friendship with
Lennie helps sustain his dream of a better future.
Lennie - is mentally disabled, but physically is a very strong man, he travels with George,
and is his constant companion. 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 doesn't know his own strength. Of Mice and Men is one of thefamous stroies
written by Steinbeck, not only becasue it teaches us how poeple used to live back in
those days, but the true definition of friendship.
