Your Topic: How is the American Dream seen through the eyes of three different characters? The power even when it’s fruitless and the influences of living off the “fatta” of the land. Of Mice and Men is a novel about the American Dream. The American Dream is shown through many of the characters views and actions throughout the novel. I am going to tell you how it is seen through three characters views and actions. The failure of the American Dream can be seen through George’s, Crook’s, and Curley’s wife’s views and actions.
"I remember when I was a little kid on my old man's chicken ranch. Had two brothers. They was always near me, always there. Used to sleep right in the same room, right in the same bed—all three. Had a strawberry patch. Had an alfalfa patch. Used to turn the chickens out in the alfalfa on a sunny morning” (36). George’s American Dream can be seen as simplistic and realistic, yet it still fails. The American Dream can be painted as the ideal house with the white picket fence, 2.5 kids, a dog, husband/wife, and the perfect life. It is unrealistic for people to believe they can obtain the perfect life, yet they still strive for it. This can be seen with many of the characters within Of Mice and Men. The failure of the American Dream can been seen through the views and actions of Lennie, Crooks, and Curley.
