| Notes: | The plot centers on George Milton and Lennie Small, itinerant ranch hands who dream of one day owning a small farm. George acts as a father figure to Lennie, who is large and simpleminded, calming him and helping to rein in his immense physical strength. When Lennie accidentally kills the ranch owner’s flirtatious daughter-in-law, George is forced to act to keep his friend from the lynch mob. COMMENTS — Steinbeck later turned this book into a three-act play. |
