As you can tell by reading The Most Excellent and Lamentable Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, the star crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, have a very strong relationship, and no one can deny that. However, a stronger relationship surfaces in the book, Of Mice and Men. The relationship between George and Lennie is even stronger than Romeo and Juliet’s in many ways. Not only is it the kind of relationship George and Lennie have that makes it strong, but the time, and what they have been through together over the years.

They don’t belong no place…With us it ain’t like that. We got a future…because I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you.’ These are great quotes from the famous short novel, Of Mice and Men. In this book there are two significant characters, George and Lennie. George is described as, ‘small and quick, dark of face, with restless eyes and sharp strong features.’ Lennie is then described as, ‘a huge man, shapeless of face, with large, pale eyes, with wide, sloping shoulders.’ Steinbeck uses several interesting methods to present the relationship between these two characters which makes this book so captivating. Steinbeck uses symbolism at the start of chapter 6 to give the reader an idea of what will happen to George and Lennie’s relationship during this chapter.
Examples: • “The water is warm too, for it has slipped twinkling over the yellow sands in the sunlight before reaching the narrow pool” (p.1). • “On the sandy bank under the trees the leaves lie deep and so crisp that a lizard makes a great skittering if he runs among them”(p. 1). • “There is a path through the willows and among the sycamores, a path beaten hard by boys coming down from the ranches to swim in the deep pool, and beaten hard by tramps who come wearily down from the highway in the evening to jungle-up near water” (p. 1-2.) 2.
He is always telling off Lennie about doing something wrong or not doing like his mother. Sometimes it's helpful, other times it's not. George can be harsh and impatient sometimes, but he never stops protecting his friend, Lennie. Unlike Lennie, George does change later on in the story. Once he even took advantage of Lennie for his own entertainment.
The music of the scene is intense, unlike in the book were the mood is sad and remorseful of the events that led George to kills Lennie. Unlike the 1939 movie, the 1993 movie’s mood in that seen is congruent with the mood from the book. The music is slow, and sad; then goes into a flashback of memories of Lennie and George together. This flashback that George has drives the theme home; with the killing of Lennie, George was also killing his dream of the farm. Aspects of both movies are done well but overall, the 1993 Of Mice and Men was by far better at portraying the theme of the book, by using Lennie’s disability to help show the theme.
Of Mice and Men by Nobel Prize winner, John Steinbeck, is a globally famous novel, capturing its audience by encompassing universal themes that are truthfully realistic in depicting human existence. The director, Gary Sinise, modified the text to accommodate the cinema without losing the essence and meaning of the novel.

Change is an integral part of human life, and is a literary tool often employed by authors to reveal the true nature of a character. In Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men”, the novel constantly presents the idea of imminent change; of Lennie getting into trouble and their peaceful environment being shattered. As this happens we see a fundamental change come over George. Always appearing a strong character, all of George’s hopes and dreams are killed with Lennie, even though they would have still been possible. Change here outlines George’s otherwise strong, decisive and problem solving character to be weak without the companionship of Lennie.
