Spoiler
i was really hoping that this was gonna end with the five of em living their best lives. this is hopelessly devastating.the scene that steinbeck paints is very well done. heavily descriptive just up to the point where it sets the scene, no further, which i appreciated bc i get dizzy with too much detail.
Spoiler
quick read, horribly packed with internal conflict. poor george. poor lennie. poor mae. i strongly believe that steinbeck was not “demonstrating bias of the period” so much as participating in it heavily.i’ll think about this book for a while.
