Paradise Lost/Steinbeck's Of Mice & Men
A 4 page essay that analyzes the theme of the loss of paradise in John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men. The protagonists are two friends, both migrant workers, Lennie, who is mentally handicapped, and George. There is a deep bond of friendship between the two men, as they each gain solace from this relationship in a life that is otherwise quite lonely. Lennie and George have a dream of owning their own farm, a piece of land that they could call their own and put down roots and connections. In short, the farm would be their Paradise. It is a dream that is extremely appealing to virtually all of their co-workers and yet one that is ultimately unattainable. Examination of the text shows that the loss of this dream of paradise is as much due to basic human nature as it is to the circumstances behind George's mercy killing of Lennie. No additional sources cited.
