Discuss the importance of dreams Essay

He compares them with other people who had dreams of owning a farm. I fulfil hundred of men conform to by on the road an on the ranches an every damn unitary of em got a little piece of land in his head. An never God damn one and solely(a) of em ever gets it. He believes Lennie is crazy. Notice that unlike the other extenders, Crooks job is stable and secure. When Candy comes in and starts talking about the dream and how they swallow most of the money for the dream, he changes his mind and wants to be a post of it want a hand to work for nothing-just his keep, why Id come an append a hand.I aint so crippled I burnt work like a son-of-a-bitch if I want to. And because of this, his confidence has built up and feels he can do anything. Curleys wife comes in into the scene and reduces Crooks confidence by saying she is going to put him into trouble. She feels she is best(p) than him because of his colour. Well, you keep your ship then, Nigger. I could get you strung up on the tree so nearly it aint even funny And this makes Crooks lose all hope of becoming a part of the dream because he thinks that is the way George and Lennie will possibly treat him when he works on the farm. well jus forget it, I didnt mean it. Jus foolin. I wouldnt want to go no place like that. Notice what Crooks says about people having dreams but not being able to fulfil them, he knows that people have other priorities and problems and the dream only remains a dream. This reflects on what Lennie does and how the dream is destroyed. Curleys wife also had a dream but her dream was unlike the other characters that had dreams. Her dream was to obtain a famous actress and be in the cinemas, and she believes everything other people tell her about her talentCoulda been in the movies, an had nice clothes an had pitchers taken of me She confessed to Lennie that she did not like her husband Curley and that she just hook up with him to get aside from her boring life because she thou ght getting married would provide new experiences for her So I married Curley. Met him out to the Riverside Dance Palace that same night. She has this dream because the people in the movies had a life of glamour and she wanted to live like that. She also has this dream because she is not treated middling on the ranch and has no-one to talk to (apart from Curley)Aint I got a right to talk to zilch? Whatta they think I am, anyways? So because of this, she is always seeking attention in the wrong places which eventually fart to her death. Her dream was shattered when she let Lennie stroke her hair. In death, she look very peaceful unlike when she was vivacious and had problems. The characters of the book Of Mice and Men have dreams at some time of their life. They have these dreams so as to miss the hardship of life in the 1930s. They also had dreams for the urge for something nifty that could make them feel very good about themselves.Some of the dreams maybe were not meant to come true (Curleys wifes dream) but we come to see how close George and Lennie come to achieving theirs. If Curleys wife didnt seek for attention and Lennie did not have the fascination for soft things, they would have had the chance to have another way of life.
