Answer 2

Hey, I have to read that book too! For school. Anyway, I think the main theme is being there for a friend no matter what, and the minor theme is dealing with someone whose  little "slow" in a work situation.

On the other hand, the plot is more like:

Lennie and George, two friends are trying to find a job, and come across a ranch. Their long scale dream is to have a piece of land they can call their own.

But, the plot and theme are very different

Answer 3

Man versus nature, taking responsibility for others, doing what's right rather than what's easy.

Answer 4

The most major theme of the book "Of Mice and Men" is the predatory nature of human beings.  

Other lesser important themes are: male bonding, and the impossibility of the American dream.

Answer 5

He loved his retarded friend so much that he took his life, knowing the other people would anyway and he wanted to do it the most quickest way so he wouldn't suffer.

Personally I hated the movie, made me very sad.
