The first reason that the novel should not be taught again is that it is mostly taking place in the fake world with magical elements and creatures made by the evil. For example, the other father, the rats, the old man, Miss. Spink, and Miss. Forcible. “There were all sorts of remarkable things in there: windup angels, books with pictures that writhed and crawled that shimmered; little dinosaur skulls that chattered their teeth as they passed.” All of these show that
All these events inspired John Steinbeck to write his novella Of Mice and Men. His title was borrowed from Robert Burn’s poem “To a Mouse.” It comes from his second to last lines of the poem “The best laid schemes o’mice an’ men Gang aft a-gley. An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain, for promis’d joy!” (Burn 7). In the poem Burn describes how the mouse has uprooted a mouse’s net with his plow (Literary Cavalcade 1) (Allan 1, 2). John Steinbeck’s choice to title his novella Of Mice and Men is reflected through the poem written by Robert Burns “To a Mouse” through animal imagery, the identification of animals with humans, and how both men and animal suffer in the end.

He uses the tone of the character along with dramatic ‘beats’ to allow the audience to better understand what the characters are trying to say. Doug’s monologue in Act One details the incident which put him into the institution, which helps the audience to understand him better. It also explains the inside joke of ‘Go burn a cat’ which highlights Doug’s instability and the danger he poses to both Lewis and the play. This also allows Nowra to question the effectiveness of modern psychiatry and the effect it can have on someone. Doug’s response to setting his mother’s cats on fire was ‘It was the fault of the psychiatrist...he told me I had an unresolved problem with my mother... and I better fix it’.

There is no supernatural tint in TCOA at all.

He goes on to say that Queen Mab is, “Drawn with a team of little atomies / Over men’s noses as they lie asleep” (1.4.57-58). For Mercutio, dreams begin at random, with something as meaningless as a faint itch of the nose. He then describes the materials used for Queen Mab’s wagon. All of the materials are fragile: spider’s legs, grasshopper’s wings, spider webs, moonbeams, a cricket’s bone, and film. In Mercutio’s description, Queen Mab and her wagon symbolize the dreams of sleepers.
