OF MICE
AND MEN
,PLOT
,THE TITLE
John steinbeck takes the title of the novel from a scottish poem
called "To a mouse" In the poem the speaker accidently turned up
a mouse nest with his plough. He pauses for a little rumination
about how men and animals might seem different but in the end
they are all mortal. No matter how different 'thinking men' and
'unthinking animals' seem, everybody suffers and dies in the end.
he says that both mice and men might die but only the men are
aware of it. Steinbeck may have linked to the mice in the poem to
Lennie as life messes both George and Lennie up, but at least
Lennie doesn't have to remember any of it. He doesn't anticipate
anything - not even his death. George will have to live with what
he has done for the rest of his life.
, JUST A TIP!
TWO QUESTIONS IN THE EXAM REGARDING
OMAM, YOU’LL BE GIVEN ONE THEME QUESTION
AND ONE CHARACTER QUESTION, I SUGGEST
DOING THE THEME QUESTION BECAUSE
● -you can talk about whoever you remember
● -you can omit characters you don’t remember much
about
● -you can talk about things like symbolism instead of
focusing on too much on quotes
● -you’ll have to focus more on context than many
quotes oe details on specific characters.
● -you can even squeeze in a way to talk bout the
title at times
