“Mouse and male” are set contrary to the background of the great PRESSION, following the journey of two immigrants in California: George Milton and Lenny Small. George is an intelligent but unpolished man, and Lenny, a large and strong individual, is suffering from mental disorders. Together, they share their dreams of owning a land that they can calm down. This is a fantasy that symbolizes hope in their harsh reality. Lenny’s concrete needs are rabbits, reflecting his innocence and child -like properties, but love for soft creatures often leads to tragic results.
The story begins when George and Lenny escape from the weed town. The innocent mistake of grabbing a Lenny woman’s skirt led to the incorrect accusation of the mob to lynch and lynch. Their dependence on each other is a central theme, and George is functioning as Renny’s guardian and caretaker.
When employment on the ranch is secured, they meet various characters, including Curly, the boss’s aggressive son. Curly’s frivolous wife is a source of unintended conflict, as Renny is drawn to her and complicates the ranch dynamics. Duo is a slim that forms a friendship with Candy, a handicapped person with an elderly disabled, and is a thoughtful and capable molded driver. Slim’s kindness includes giving a puppy to Lenny, further solidifying their bonds, and suggesting their desire for the future.
As the story progresses, if you propose a donation of $ 350 to their dreams in exchange for the place where Candy lives, their common vision of owning land becomes more concrete. When Curly attacks Renny, this excitement is suddenly interrupted, and Renny retaliates under George’s encouragement and crushs Curly’s hand easily. The incident temporarily enhances George’s sense of security and derives him to temporarily abandon Renny while interacting with other people on the ranch.
Later, while exploring the stalls, Lenny met a fraudulent, a isolated black Stable house, and they discuss their dreams. Candy joins them and tries to dodge the scammer’s pessimism on their wishes. However, Curly’s wife particularly threatens the man and has been threatened by Curly, who has revealed her own loneliness and bitterness.
The tragedy attacks when Lenny accidentally kills the puppy and leads to a fateful encounter with Curly’s wife. She enters the barn for dating and allows Lenny to stroke her hair. When he pulled too strongly, he was overwhelmed by fear, shouted, panicked, and urged to break his neck. In a fear, he escapes from the scene.
When the news of her death circulates, the ranch hands form a lynch’s mob and hunt down Renny. Understand that their dreams have shattered, George is in a hurry to find Renny at the specified conference spot. So, at the end, he comforted him by talking about their dreams, completely recognizing that it is now just an illusion. When the mob is closed, George makes a decision to hurt his heart, decides to shoot Renny behind his head, and provides a mercy with a repellent death from the villagers. After that, Slim understands the depth of George’s sacrifice and is the only person who keeps him away from harsh reality, and Curly and Carlson cannot grasp the emotional confusion under George’s actions.
