Lennie is strong but a simpleton; George is small but intelligent (if uneducated). The pair are an inseparable, if odd, duo working as migrant ranch workers in Depression-era California. Their dream is to own a small plot of land some day and (for Lennie) keep rabbits. But things don't always work out as planned.
This novella was a short, if powerful, picture of loneliness, the need for community, and the importance of dreams. And it seems the way forward for all of those things is empathy and love towards our broken neighbors.
