- Lennie By the River
- George By the River
- "No, Lennie, I ain't mad. I never been mad, an' I ain't now. That's a thing I want ya to know."
- How the Themes Play Out
- Loneliness and Companionship The Impossibility of the American Dream Entrapment
- Lennie returns to the riverbed where George told him to go if he got into trouble. While there, he hallucinates his Aunt Clara and a giant rabbit. Lennie's number one fear: that George will leave him.
- Symbol: Mice, Pup, Rabbits
- Lennie kills mice unintentionally because he likes to pet soft things, but doesn't understand his strength.---Mice are fragile and easy to harm, and parallel even Lennie himself! Lennie accidentally kills his puppy when it bites him. He becomes angry and "bounces" it. ---This puppy is fragile and easy to harm, and parallels Curley's wife. Rabbits serve as motivation for Lennie b/c he wants to tend them.---These rabbits in some way even lead to Curley's wife's death due to Lennie's fear of not being allowed.
- "Carl's right, Candy. That dog ain't no good to himself"
- George finds Lennie and tells him that he isn't angry with him. He has Lennie sit in front of him, and while he can hear the lynch mob approaching, tells Lennie the story of their farm. Then, before the others get there, he shoots him dead.
- Symbol: Candy's Dog
- "I ought to of shot that dog myself, George. I shouldn't have let no stranger shoot my dog."
- These themes are also largely resolved by the end through our main characters and their situations.
- Symbol: Cards, Hands
- These items all connect to Lennie in many ways; he is tragically drawn to them, but ultimately hurts them. The same happens with Curley's wife, and these animals foreshadow this event. Lennie, too, is also fragile in the story, and is easily hurt and manipulated by others.
- "Never you mind. A guy got to sometimes...you hadda, George. I swear you hadda."
- Candy's dog parallels with Candy ; when his dog becomes useless, it's killed. Candy worries about when he is similarly deemed useless on the farm due to his age.---Candy and his dog also parallel George and Lennie.
- "I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that's why."
- Playing Cards: George plays Solitaire (a one-player game) ---Hands: connections to usefulness and uselessness(Curley's hand is broken, Candy lost a hand)
