For example Lennie was in the barn felling Curleys wife’s hair which was his first mistake then when she pulled away he grabbed at he to keep quite but as he did that he closed her airways and killed her. This was a honest mistake on his part he just didn’t want her to scream rape like what happened at his first job. Raymond made the mistake of telling Charlie’s girlfriend that Charlie was using him. He also made the mistake of the hooker making a date with him at 10 but she just wanted the time. Both honest mistakes that he didn’t even know he made.
And Men Critical Analysis There are many themes in John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, but I’m going to address one. The theme I will discuss is the theme that obtaining a perfect life is impossible. This is shown through George, Lennie, Candy, and Crooks’s dream of owning some land. They wanted to, “Live off the fatta the lan’.” as George put it. Of course, as you know, it didn’t come true.
He is never satisfied with what he has and once he acquires what he wants he moves onto another dream. Such as after he changes his name and starts a new exciting life he dreams of being rich and powerful, then his dream is to win over a lost love and even after he has won over Daisy he still wants more from her which she is incapable of giving. Through Jay Gatsby’s tragic story, Fitzgerald is suggesting that the American Dream is unattainable if rooted in greed. Hickey suggests that he is also implying a warning to not future generations, “The Great Gatsby might be interpreted as a warning not only to Fitzgerald’s generation but to future generations as well. Beware of pursuing that “orgiastic future” with too much fervor; one might well be destroyed by it, just as Gatsby is.” (Hickey
A second example is Crook’s memory of his father’s chicken ranch. A third significant example is George and Lennie’s dream of having their own
George and Lennie are two migrant workers in the 1930’s that have nothing but each other, and the hope for the realization of an American dream. George being the good man he is has to put up with Lennie who seems to be nothing but trouble. Lennie is an innocent man but the mild mental disability he carries in his life seems to work against him and George. Throughout the book we learn a great deal about the relationship between Lennie and George, and just why George made the decision he made at the end of the novella.
In both plays Death of a Salesman and True West can be both in contrast to the conditions of their visions of the American dream. Both of these plays focus on characters that spend their lives pursuing this dream while they fail at happiness as a result. In Death of a Salesman Willy Loman is a unfortunate, man who is so obsessed with trying to live up to an ideal that he has become disillusioned and has developed a loose sense of reality. Willy, spends his lifetime attempting to become a salesman, only to find in the end that he had failed. True West also focuses on the dysfunction of the American Dream.
“O.K Someday – we’re gonna get the jack together and we’re gonna have a little house and a couple of acres and a cow and some pigs and We’ll have a big vegetable patch and a rabbit-hunch and chickens. And
Victor Frankenstein and Macbeth succeeded in carrying through their desires; however they did not succeed in achieving happiness. This is evident as they gained power, became obsessed, and grew distant from friends and family. Although ambition is an amazing quality to have, there are things that may trigger a person to let their ambition turn into obsession. Victor and Macbeth both allow their ambition to become obsessive. Victor disliked death and suffering in life because he had lost his mother and it had been too big of a shock for Victor to handle.
For instance, they are farmers who tend their land, gardeners who grow crops, and a society that relies heavily on their home canned goods. They also grow and slaughter their own livestock for meats and raise chickens for meat and eggs. Cows are not only used for milk, but for their meat as well. Not only do they sustain themselves on their homegrown meats and dairy, but they also sustain themselves on their own homegrown fruits and vegetables as well. The Amish primarily grow vegetable crops such as potatoes, celery, corn, and beets; some Amish even have grapevines and fruit trees on their property.
For example, at one point he thinks he has lost his working ticket when he was never in possession of it in the first place. Another example is that George frequently has to remind Lennie to "hide in the brush" (Steinbeck 15) in the event that Lennie gets in trouble again. Another challenge appears once he kills Curley's wife. In his chaotic state, once he realizes he has "done a bad thing" (Steinbeck 91), he reluctantly remembers that he should hide in the brush like he was told. The last obstacle he faces is his financial condition.
