This is one very popular quote that John Steinbeck ‘ Of Mice and Men’ character, George, uses to express the degree of the mental strain he goes through daily for being responsible for Lennie. I could have lived so easy and maybe have a girl.
I could get along so easy and so nice if I didn’t have you in my tail. They are in a state of complete servitude, and this goes as far as offsetting the real plans they have for their own personal progress and achievements.ĭespite having plans to break free from this chain of servitude to pursue their own dreams and businesses and become their own boss, it never came to materialize after Lennie dies, thus shattering a group of dreams tied together and ushering in the start of a new circle of servitude for those who are still living. The characters in the book ‘ Of Mice and Men’ find themselves in a position where they are unavoidably reliant and dependent on the haves for survival. Steinbeck introduces this excerpt at the start of the book to offer a picture-perfect scenario of what it feels and looks like to be in the sort of social caliber that George and Lennie belong. The book is wrapped around a general theme of servitude and enslavement. ‘ Of Mice and Men‘ is a tale of struggle and hardship for the peasants. They walked in a single file down the path…dressed in a denim trouser…wore black, shapeless hats and both carried tight blankets rolls slung over their shoulders. The characters therein feel threatened against their livelihoods, dreams, and overall existence, which makes the ensuing quotes go from aggressive to emotional to desperation. John Steinbeck’s ‘ Of Mice and Men’ deploys quotes that grab the very inner feeling of a generation greatly troubled by social and economic hardships.
