In 'Of Mice and Men,' John Steinbeck uses the following literary techniques to develop the characters:
-
Symbolism - Steinbeck employs symbolism to illustrate the deeper meanings and themes associated with the characters and their dreams, such as Lennie's dream of tending rabbits or George's vision of owning a piece of land.
-
Foreshadowing - Steinbeck uses foreshadowing to hint at future events that shape the characters' lives and the inevitable outcomes of their actions, particularly in relation to Lennie's strength and vulnerability.
The other options, such as rhyme scheme, onomatopoeia, and metric structure, are not prominently used in the novel for character development.
