Within this passage, I will be explaining the relevance of brotherhood throughout the book and movie, Of Mice And Men, as well as the movie O Brother Where Art Thou, and how the characters portray the fact that there cannot be a friendship without brotherhood, sacrifice and trust for one another. Friendships are the cornerstone of society, without friends throughout one's life, there is little room for growth and learning experiences. The worst part of a friendship is when it gets broken by trust or negligence, as seen in the film, O Brother Where Art Thou, one of the main characters, Everett, had told Pete and Delmar …show more content…

To me, brotherhood means you can trust and care for each other as brothers because of the time you’ve spent with one another. Whether it be in our daily lives or inside the horrors of the Vietnam War.

These are what one may call, “good luck.” But what about, “bad luck,” when you no longer have any?

In the novella Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck the quotation from Steinbeck himself is illustrated in the novella. My interpretation of the quotation is that everybody is lonely and we try to feel less lonely, one of the ways we do this is by storytelling. The method is as old as time yet it works.

Victor loses his friends to death, and so does Walton while the creature never really “fulfilled his dream of being anyone’s true friend” (Jeray 69). This way the novel not only shows the importance of friendship and having companions but also the possible consequences of either being rejected by everyone or of losing beloved people partly even due to own
