- Curley's wife talks about how she could have been an actor and movie star for big plays and shows. She doesn't even want to be with Curley and married him as a last resort.

- Steinbeck wants us to know, that while dreams can be a glorious part of our life, they can be a beautiful curse. He uses foreshadowing and symbolism to express the theme. He uses the character's emotions and dreams to make the reader feel connected. Dreams may be nice to have, but don't get too attached, as they can be poisonous.
- "You an me can get that little place, cant we, George?"
