Steinbeck writes most often of lonely men (and women) who seek companionship as a means to feel less lonely. This is evident in most of his work: Tortilla Flat, Of Mice and Men, East of Eden, The Winter of Our Discontent, Travels with Charley, etc.
The Grapes of Wrath written by Steinbeck is often compared to Uncle Tom's Cabin.
The poem "To a Mouse" by Robert Burns highlights the theme of the unpredictability of life and the struggles of the lower class, which inspired Steinbeck to write "Of Mice and Men." The poem's message resonated with Steinbeck's own views on social issues and informed the themes of his novel. Additionally, both works explore the fragility of dreams and the harsh realities of the world.
