Of Mice and Men
Of Mice and Men
Of Mice and Men is a novel written by John Steinbeck, an author who is also acclaimed as a Nobel Prize winner. The novel was published in 1937, and is a story about Lennie Small and George Milton, characters that were displaced ranch laborers during the Great Depression in California. The novel was based on the author’s own experiences working as a bindle stiff during the 1920’s, and the title of the book is taken from the poem To a Mouse by Robert Burn, ‘The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry’. In 1992, the book was transformed to the big screen, and this version directed by Gary Sinise was an acclaimed film that inspired and encouraged film buffs to pick up the novel and see for themselves the relationship that existed between novella and feature film. In most cases, the relationship was strikingly similar, however this essay will explore the manners in which the book differed from the movie.
