Dreams In John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

Dreams are an organic desire that every human being has in this life. In the modern world success is measured by many different units. One of those units is the achievement of dreams. In John Steinbeck's novella Of Mice and Men the author uses the dialogue between characters throughout the novella to conclude that dreams are indeed a desire and are not always fulfilled.
To illustrate to readers that dreams are not always accomplished, Steinbeck uses the dialogue between George and Lennie that lays out their dreams. Their dream is that they are “gonna get a little place. We’ll have a cow, ‘said George’. An we’ll have maybe a Pig an’ Chickens.” (105) George’s very detailed description of his and Lennie’s dreams shows the fact that dreams are indeed a reality and everybody has them.
Indeed dreams are true, but the reality is they are not always achieved by human beings. Steinbeck uses another conversation between Lennie and George, this time however the conversation was used to show that “Guys like us got no family. They make a little stake and they blow it in. They ain’t got nobody in the world’ who gives a hoot in (....) about ‘em. ‘But not us” (104) George and Lennie’s dialogue here was used to describe the reality

Let’s get that place now.’ ‘Sure right now, I gotta. We gotta.’ He pulled the trigger. The crash of the shot rolled up the hills and rolled down again. Lennie jarred, and then settled slowly forward to the sand.” (106) The dream of both George and Lennie getting that little place together was ceased forever. The author used that final dialogue between George and Lennie to restate to the readers the dream and what they were aspiring for in this life. Georges statement “We gotta”, really highlights what exactly the dream was. It was for both Lennie and George, together to arrive in the house, not just George or just
