In "Of Mice and Men," Steinbeck paints a picture of how society often mistreats its most vulnerable individuals and animals. Characters like Lennie, Crooks, and Candy's old dog are seen as weak or different, and instead of being cared for, they are pushed aside. Through George and Lennie's friendship, Steinbeck shows us the need for loyalty and compassion in a world that is otherwise cold and lonely. I think he is saying that society fails when it refuses to protect those who cannot protect themselves. As a modern reader, I see George and Lennie's relationship as both inspiring and tragic, because it shows how love can endure but also how harsh the world can be when kindness is not enough.
