In John Steinbeck’s novel, Of Mice and Men, two itinerant farm workers learn the difficulty of reaching their dream of owning a farm. Finding work during the 1930s in California proves to be a difficult task; however, through determination and perseverance, Lennie and George are able to secure a ranch job and thereby keep the hope of owning a farm in their sights. The dream of farm ownership symbolizes independence to these two close friends. In addition, the idea of the farm offers comfort to simple-minded Lennie when he is upset or confused. However, as in many of Steinbeck’s novels, symbols change and evolve. No matter how hard the two men struggle to fulfill their dream, ownership remains unattainable. Thus, the farm evolves from a symbol of independence and comfort into an elusive dream.
