Titles Of Mice And Men
The first title of "Of Mice and Men" was "Something That Happened", but, he came up with title after reading Robert Burns's poem, "To a Mouse". The poem by Robert Burns poem is about the regret the narrator feels after destroying the home of a mouse while plowing his field; the poem's theme is that no plan is fool-proof and no one can be completely prepared for the future
Most of the characters in Of Mice and Men admit, at one point or another, to dreaming of a different life. Before her death, Curley's wife confesses her desire to be a movie star. Crooks, bitter as he is, allows himself the pleasant fantasy of hoeing a patch of garden on Lennie's farm one day, and Candy latches on desperately to George's vision of owning a couple of acres. Before the action of the novel begins, circumstances have robbed most of the characters of these wishes.. This also goes with the title.
