Steinbeck liefert in seinem sehr kurzen Roman ein realistisches Bild Amerikas in den Depressionsjahren und die Darstellung einer tiefgehenden Männerfreundschaft. Die Verfilmung mit Gary Sinise und John Malkowich als George und Lenny kann man nur als kongenial bezeichnen.
George and Lennie travel everywhere together, working and sharing the visicitudes of 1930's migrant life--lucky to have a meager supper of canned beans without ketchup. But these two men, who are not even related, are bound as deeply as brothers. George, the short guy with the brains, feels responsible for his big, simple-minded companion, who depends on him for work, food and dreams of a better future. Lennie is a gentle retarded man, who panics easily--not realizing his own tremendous physical strength.
This story is more than a mere '30s novella, for it pits the private vulnerability of human nature against pitiless fate. The story, 75% dialogue with only 25% narrative, reads easily, flowing along like the indifferent Salinas River, which inexorably carries its characters to a tragic denoument. Man Aspires but Flawed Society Destroys. A dark Classic.
The favorite character in the book is Lenny. He came out in the story as and was innocent person with a mental defect. It reminded me somehow of Dostoyevsky's THE IDIOT. The amazing thing about this book is that not a lot of books are based on such unique characters. Another attractive aspect of Lenny is his physical strength and hardworking nature. Yet, despite his meek nature, he was dangerous in the sense that he even killed a woman out of fear.
Steinbeck successfully created a philosophical twist to life through this story by bringing to life strong but vulnerable characters that we all can relate to.
