Besprechung
Drifters in search of work, George and his childlike friend Lennie, have nothing in the world except the clothes on their back - and a dream that one day they will have some land of their own. Eventually they find work on a ranch in California's Salinas Valley, but their hopes are dashed as Lennie - struggling against extreme cruelty, misunderstanding and feelings of jealousy - becomes a victim of his own strength. Tackling universal themes of friendship and shared vision, and giving a voice to America's lonely and dispossessed, Of Mice and Men remains Steinbeck's most popular work, achieving success as a novel, Broadway play and three acclaimed films.
Kurztext / Annotation
George und Lennie sind zusammen auf einer Ranch Tagelöhner. Lennie ist ein tölpelhafter Arbeiter, der von seinem Freund George beschützt und umsorgt wird. Beide träumen davon, eines Tages eine gemeinsame Ranch zu haben - und überleben so die Schikanen in der Arbeit. Eines Tages passiert ein Unglück, das die Freundschaft der beiden auf die Probe stellt. Steinbeck wählte eine direkten und dialogreichen Stil. Er legte die Novelle bewusst auf eine spätere Dramatisierung an. Die Dialogpassagen sind meist im Arbeiterslang gehalten.
