Of Mice and Men was written in 1937, soon after the Great Depression. The story follows the lives of two ordinary men, Lennie and George, looking for work at a ranch with the hope of eventually buying a small farm for themselves. They develop a codependent relationship as Lennie has the brawn and George has the brains. This union allows them to survive the harshness of life and stick together through thick and thin. But certain events take place where difficult decisions need to be made and sacrifices become inevitable. One of the greatest charms of Of Mice and Men is the narration of the story from an unbiased point of view, observing the lives of the characters as they happen. It has been adapted into several film and theater productions.
