Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression, “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck tells the poignant tale of George and Lennie, two displaced ranch workers in search of stability and belonging. George is sharp and protective, while Lennie, with his immense strength and childlike innocence, dreams of tending rabbits on their own piece of land. Their bond is tested by life’s harsh realities, capturing the profound beauty and, at times, heartbreak of human connection. Steinbeck’s evocative prose immerses readers in this timeless exploration of hope, friendship, and sacrifice.
Tell me about the rabbits, George.
