Of Mice and Men Emotions

In the following essay I will be writing about and exploring what feelings Steinbeck conveys in his novella of mice and men. The novella was the south of Steinbecks dustbowl trilogy. These books were based on Steinbecks own first gain experience against the back drop of depression-era America where he became concerned with the development of migrant workers and exposing the institutionalized prejudices ( racism, ageism and sexism) of the migrant workers themselves, hence the trilogy.The novella shows an steady state of consciousness in which joy, fear, sorrow and hate is experienced as distinguished from cognitive and volitional state of consciousness. The main theme/ emotion that are conveyed are loneliness. Steinbeck uses many different linguistic language techniques to drag this. These include adverbs, speech verbs, imperative verbs, adjectives, abstract nouns, rhetorical questions and many more than. and the opening of the novella displays a bond of fellowship and mutua l intellect shown by George and lennie.Steinbeck writes he pulled his hat down a little more over his eyes the way Georges hat was. Our immediate interlingual rendition is that Lennie looks up to George as a role model, the quote way Georges hat was infers that Lennie looks up to George as someone who can guide him and inculcate him much like a younger br early(a)s place would be towards an older sibling. Steinbeck writes Lennie looked timidly over to him. George? Yeah, what ya want? Where we goin George? So you forgot that already did you? this implies that without George, Lennie would be hopeless and would acquire no where because he would always be lost. When Lennie says where we goin he sounds slenderly worried, this will be because he knows that George will get waste at him because he is constantly having to remind him on the objective. The raillery already suggests that Lennie is always forgetting things and George is getting more and more fed up. The adverb timid ly implies that George often gets angry with Lennie and now Lennie has learnt to approach him differently when he is angry so he wont get as upset.This implies their intimacy is strong as they know how to approach each other wake an almost brotherly relationship. This overly depicts Georges frustration and anger towards lennie however, unlike other migrant workers at the time, it does not come from the face the he is solitary(a) and isolated save because of the point the he someone there for him that he can talk to. George says where the hell would you go? the fact that this question is rhetorical shows that George knows that its an empty threat.However the taboo language hell gives the impression that George is slightly apprehensive and not entirely convinced. This shows the worry and compassion that he has for lennie, and also showing that not only can lennie not cope without George but George cannot cope without lennie. Steinbecks purpose was to show George and Lennies bon d of friendship and how unlike other migrant workers, their negative emotions does not stem from the fact that they are lonely and isolated but the fact there is a companionship and the sense of a bond between them, showing how strong their bond of friendship really is.
