- Friendship
- That's right, Lennie!
- I got you and you got me George!
- Dreams
- We'll get our own place, and have some cows, chickens, maybe some pigs......
- AND SOME RABBITS!!!!
- Loneliness
- Why don't you boys talk to me? I get awful lonely....
- You got a husband, don't you?
- In this scene in "Of Mice and Men", Lennie is shouting: "I got you and you got me, George!". This represents the theme of friendship, as the reader can infer that by Lennie making this statement, both men can rely on each other, and they have each other's back in times of need.
- Companionship
- Here we are, Lennie. We'll be working here for the next month.
- I don't like this place...
- In this scene, George is explaining to Lennie the steps they need to take in order to successfully obtain their own ranch. This represents the theme of dreams, as both Lennie and George desperately want to buy this ranch. In addition to this dream, Lennie also wants to be the owner of some rabbits, which makes this dream much more important to Lennie.
- Barriers
- Why don't nobody ever talk to you?
- It's because I'm black!
- In this scene, Curley's wife complains to George and Lennie that nobody ever talks to her. George replies by saying that she has her own husband to talk to. This shows loneliness because even though Curley's wife is surrounded by many people on the ranch, and is even married to one, she still feels alone because she never engages in conversation.
- Powerlessness
- Help me George! Make it stop!
- Come here ya big bastard!
- Get him Lennie!
- In this scene, George and Lennie arrive at the ranch owned by Curley's father. This shows companionship because ever since they were kids, Lennie and George did pretty much everything together. Now that they're older and in the midst of the great depression, they keep each other company by traveling together from ranch to ranch.
- In this scene, Lennie asks why Crooks is so lonely. In response to this, Crooks says it's because he is black. This represents barriers because in the 1930's, segregation was a very popular belief. Since Crook's was separated from the majority of the ranch, it was often looked down upon when white people interacted with members of a different race. In a sense, there was a barrier between white and black people, which caused lots of tensions during the great depression.
- In this scene, Curley got angry at Lennie because he thought that Lennie was laughing at him, but in reality, Lennie was focused on the place George was going to buy for them. Curley proceeded to yell at Lennie, and then begin to fight him. This shows how Lennie is powerless because even though he is insanely strong, Lennie has a mental disability which seperates his from the rest of the ranch. We can also see that if it weren't for George yelling at Lennie to fight back, he would've been seriously hurt or killed. This shows how Lennie is unable to do things by himself, which leaves him powerless.
