In Of Mice and Men, author John Steinbeck makes it easy for you. Steinbeck tells you exactly what he wants you to see, and how he wants you to see. He helps you feel what he feels, think what he thinks. Of Mice and Men has its critics, who say Steinbeck’s story of George and Lennie is more about the author’s political agenda than it is about George and Lennie. But Of Mice and Men remains one of the enduring 20th Century American novels. Steinbeck makes it easy to see why.
