Steinbeck presents dreams as futile in "Of Mice and Men" through characters like George and Lennie who never achieve their dream of owning a farm.

This is an interesting question and the answer seems to be that he did not fully know himself. While he clearly did feel sympathy for marginalised groups such as the downtrodden migrant workers in Grapes of Wrath he seems unwilling to fully commit to the socialism offered by the government camp.

John Steinbeck's third wife was Elaine Anderson Steinbeck.

Slim says that it's not common for two guys to travel together as George and Lennie do, and that their relationship is unique because they watch out for each other. He thinks it's good that they have each other in a world that can be lonely and harsh.
