|
|
|
Of Mice and Men and The Grapes of Wrath, two novels published concurrently by John Steinbeck, both depict camaraderie between dust bowl migrants. The main characters in Of Mice and Men, George and Lennie, form a bond, while struggling to reach their goal, a small farm. ... Consequently, in Of Mice and Men, friendship leads to destruction, in The Grapes of Wrath, salvation. Starkly contrasting George and Lennies relationship in Of Mice and Men to Tom and Jim Casys in The Grapes of Wrath, Steinbeck unquestionably shows that camaraderie decides an individuals fate. ... For example, when Casy explains to Tom his idea that ìÖmaybe all men got one big soul everbodys a part ofÖî(33), Tom openly replies, ìyou cant hold no church with idears like thatî(33). ... Obviously, Toms camaraderie with Casy transforms Tom for the better; however, in Of Mice and Men, George virtually crushes Lennies free will, making Lennie completely dependent upon him. ... In Of Mice and Men, Lennies unswerving devotion to George leads to his own death, when Curleys wife flirts with him.
