George en Lennie, arme sloebers die het land afreizen op zoek naar werk, dromen ervan ooit hun eigen stukje land te hebben, hun eigen stukje vrijheid, en niet langer afhankelijk te zijn van grillige omstandigheden en onbetrouwbare bazen.

George en Lennie, arme sloebers die het land afreizen op zoek naar werk, dromen ervan ooit hun eigen stukje land te hebben, hun eigen stukje vrijheid, en niet langer afhankelijk te zijn van grillige omstandigheden en onbetrouwbare bazen. Die hoop wordt de bodem ingeslagen als ze op een ranch in Californië werk vinden en daar in een onontwarbare keten van gebeurtenissen terechtkomen waarin misverstand, wreedheid, jaloezie en moord de boventoon voeren. De verwording leidt er zelfs toe dat George zijn kameraad doodt.
Wat begon als een bescheiden visioen eindigt als een verschrikkelijke nachtmerrie. Zoals in veel van zijn boeken geeft John Steinbeck hier een stem aan eenzame kansarme mensen uit de Amerikaanse samenleving. Zulke romans werden en worden in het land the brave and the free niet overal verwelkomd. Tot op vandaag wordt van muizen en mensen geboycot op scholen en in bibliotheken.

Summary: George Milton and Lennie Small are two guys who travel together from ranch to ranch to find work. Their dream is to have their own ranch some day, and Lennie wants to have rabbits then. George is the smarter person, and try to keep Lennie out of trouble. Lennie thinks like a child, is stupid, is very big and strong and loves to pet soft things, especially animals. Sometimes this gives problems, because he is very big and strong, so when he pets animals, like rabbits or mice, they die because he breaks them. George and Lennie are going to another ranch, because the are not welcome more by the other ranch. On their way to the next ranch they passed a river where they spend the night in the nature. George says to Lennie that if he gets in any trouble he has to go to this place and hide in the bushes. When they came at the farm they met the boss, but the boss is angry , because they are so late. Then the son of the boss, Curley, comes in and he doesn't like big people, because he is self small. This means trouble, because Lennie is big and Curley hates big guys! Curley is also married, with a woman who flirts a lot. So you can understand that Lennie and George are feeling very uncomfortable and that they are a bit scared. George tells Lennie to stay away from Curley and his wife. After this scene, when Curley has left, Curley's wife comes in and asks were Curley is. (She's always using that as an excuse to get out of the house and to flirt a bit with the guys.) Lennie, as stupid as he is, keeps staring at her. Then Slim, the jerk line skinner, the prince of the ranch, comes in. He's a very kind man. George ands Slim are talking, and Slim is very surprised that two men like George and Lennie are traveling together. Candy, one of the ranchmen has an old dog that stinks enormously.

Lennie likes to pet soft animals, but he always kills them because he pets too hard, Lennie get one of the puppies from Slim. But he may not pet it until a couple of weeks, because they're too little now. But Lennie can't wait and pets the dog. When the dog dies, Lennie is in panic. George has told him that they are going to get a little house with some land with cows and pigs and rabbits, If he isn't going to do wrong things. Now he killed the little pup, he thinks that George don’t give him rabbits. On Saturday night most of the man, including George going out in town. Lennie is staying at the farm.
