In John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men there are a lot of themes. The themes consist of friendship, loneliness, discrimination and dreams. All of these themes are important, and play immense role in the outcome at the end. The major theme is that friends stick together; unconditionally; this is demonstrated through Lennie and George's actions in Weed, in the bunk house, and in the aftermath of Curly's wife's death. One example of true friends sticking together is exemplified when George stays with Lennie after Lennie's actions in Weed.

There are many really great themes in the book Of Mice and Men. The thematic subject is friendship/companionship. The theme this book portrays the most will deal with the character Lennie Small.

Of Mice and Men; A Literary Analysis “I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that 's why,” says George in the book Of Mice and Men. John Steinbeck wrote this book about two boys who took care of each other mentally and physically throughout. They endure many journeys together and are able to suffice over very little. They show the strength in friendships in many dissimilar ways and make diligent decisions that some may never be able to make. Of Mice and Men is not only about two friends and their journey together, but as well as giving one a deeper meaning of the book, such as showing the nature of their dreams, the characters as archetypes, and if the killing of Lennie is justified in the end.

George was making a sacrifice by following out his responsibility to shoot Lennie instead of letting someone else shoot him. It was an immense sacrifice for George and shows how true their friendship was. Despite George’s approach to Lennie, deep down he truly cares for his friend. Even when Lennie offered to “go off in the hills and live by” himself, George told him that he wanted Lennie to stay with him because he truly does care for Lennie ( Of mice and Men 13).

Among the many potions and pills mankind has conjured up to defeat solitude and loneliness, companionship has proven through and through to be the most effective. Even through endless strife, companionship is really the only guaranteed happiness. In Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck addresses loneliness, apartness and the importance of man's commitment to man through the laborers of 1930's California. Steinbeck uses these laborers to describe solitude, the fruits of friendship and the importance of commitment to each other. The importance and need of togetherness in mankind plays an elusive, but vital role in the novel as it subtly appears time and time again.

In John Steinbeck´s Of Mice and Men, the ideas of companionship and friendship are addressed greatly. George and Lennie are companions who have traveled alongside each other for a long time.

Steinbeck´s Of Mice and Men uses motifs and characterization to show that companionship is beneficial to individuals.

George and Lennie 's relationship is closer than most friendships now a days. George is like Lennie 's big brother and cares for him like their family. For example, when Lennie got in trouble in Weed, George did not leave him and helped him escape. Another example of George acting like a big brother to Lennie is, he holds on to Lennie 's work card so he does not lose it. George also really cares for Lennie and does not want him to leave.

Steinbeck portrays friendship as a good thing to life in Of Mice and Men, but it won’t always end up being a cohesive unit the majority of the time. Through George and Lennie, we are able to see how he believes friendship is an important part of our everyday lives. Without friendship, we would have a void in our life, that couldn’t be filled by anything else. During the Great Depression, it was someone to turn to, if you were going through a rough time.

The Literature piece Of Mice and Men was focusing more on friendship and how strong it could be. It pointed out that friendship is based on caring and loyalty, like the friendship that was between George and Lennie, and the friendship that was between Candy and his dog. This theme was first presented when George said, ‘“Lennie, for God’ sakes don’t drink so much….. You gonna be sick like you was last night”’ (Steinbeck Chapter 1).

The sacrifices friends make to help a friend get out of trouble. In the book Of Mice and Men with John Steinbeck shows that friends make great sacrifices to help each other. This book is about two friends traveling to a new job and ultimately ending in one friend making the choice of taking his best “friend” life. Steinbeck 's description of George and Lennie’s friendship helps justify what George did in the end.
