What are some themes of the story of men and mice?

Answer 1

That's a great book, when I saw the movie I almost cried. Some of the themes in literature are man's inhumanty to his fellow man, the way Curley treats Lennie is pretty messed up. Conflicting loyalties, George had to kill Lennie himself because if he did'NT then Curley would have anyways. Tragic flaw, Lennie accidently killing Curley's wife caused George to kill him. Hope this helped.

The best laid schemes of mice and men

And leaves us nothing but grief and pain,

For promised joy!
