THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF THE AMERICAN DREAM IN JOHN STEINBECK’S OF MICE AND MEN.

Abstract

In i the i novel i “Of i Mice i and i Men”, i John i Steinbeck i resonates i with i the i people‟s i endurance i when i subjected i to i social i injustice. i The i characters, i George i and i Lennie, i are i closely i delineated i by i analogy i to i animals, i as i being i either i weak i or i powerful. i They i are i being i entrapped i like i rodents, i yet i they i are i potentially i strong i as i a i socio-„professional‟ i group. i More i than i in i Steinbeck‟s i other i books, i in i this i one i the i individual i tragedy i is i manifest.
