Lennie wants to tend rabbits. Even at the end of the book when things are spiraling out of control, he is only concerned about getting to tend to the rabbits on the ranch.
Yes, Lennie believes in the dream of owning a farm with George and living off the "fatta the land." This dream comforts him and gives him hope for a better future.
George's dream is to own a ranch with Lennie where they could do everything themselves. He didn't want to answer to anyone but himself. He also wanted to do all the work so he could get his own pleasure from it- not his bosses.
Join Lennie and George's dream
The dream farm they're going to get when they get enough money.
Because Lennie doesn't want to be away from his new pup.
George and Lennie are attracted to the idea of owning a farm because it represents security, independence, and a place where they can live off the land and be their own bosses. For them, owning a farm symbolizes the possibility of achieving their dream of a better life and escaping the cycle of poverty and hardship they have experienced.
George and Lennie dream of owning a piece of land where they can have their own farm and live off the "fatta the lan'" by growing their own crops and tending to animals. They envision a life of self-sufficiency and independence.
They have no money to get the land and raise it.
After George kills Lennie in "Of Mice and Men," he talks with Slim about their dream of owning a farm together. Slim is a trusted and understanding individual who empathizes with George's difficult decision.
Crooks wants Lennie to face the reality that he will never achieve his dream of having a small farm with George, as society and circumstances will always prevent them from attaining it due to their class status and mental abilities.
Crooks is suspicious of Lennie because he doesn't understand Lennie's mental disability and is wary of his size and strength. Lennie confides in Crooks the dream of owning a farm with George, but Crooks initially doubts the feasibility of the dream due to the racism and discrimination he has faced throughout his life.
He dreams of owning his own farm with Lennie on the "fat of the land." George wants to raise enough money, and they would go together. Lennie would tend to the rabbits. That's right, but we later realize this isn't George's dream. His real dream is wanting friendship. We know this when George kills Lennie.
