    Similarities Between To A Mouse And Of Mice And Men

    “The best laid plans of mice and men/ often go awry” (Burns 38). Steinbeck adapted this quote from Robert Burns to write his novel, Of Mice and Men, indicating similar themes such as companionship. Dreams of the characters are also mentioned in both works, along with how they are not achieved at the end. The characters and their personalities also tend to resemble each other between the works. John Steinbeck’s book Of Mice and Men shows many allusions to the poem “To a Mouse” by Robert Burns through unachieved dreams, the characters’ compassion and the unfair treatment of weaker characters.…

    Differences Between Of Mice And Men

    In the movie, “Of Mice and Men” Weed was very different than the one in the novel. First and foremost, the lady in the red dress chased Lennie and George; the book did not portray it that way. The men were also chasing Lennie and George. I believe the director chose to do it this way because it brings action, and it also makes it more interesting it. Also it is the beginning of the story, so he possibly may have wanted to add an attention grabber to draw you in.…
