Best Answer

The title "Of Mice and Men" is derived from a line in a poem by Robert Burns called "To a Mouse." Steinbeck found inspiration in this line to convey the idea of vulnerability and fragility that both small creatures and marginalized people share in a harsh world.

The title is taken from Robert Burns' poem "To a Mouse", which read: "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft agley." (The best laid schemes of mice and men / Often go awry.)
