What are the dreams of each character in Of Mice and Men?

This is a good question.  When we focus on dreams, we come to one of the central themes of the book.

This is a good question.  When we focus on dreams, we come to one of the central themes of the book. 

First, I should say that dreams are rare in the book.  The reason for this is simple. In a broken world where dreams are dashed, it takes courage to dream.  Crooks says it best when he says to Lennie that he has seen many people go by who have a desire to get some land and come to nothing.  In other words, why dream if it is not going to come true? 

Second, George and Lennie stand out in the novella, because they have a dream.  They have each other and they dream that they will get some land and live off the fat of it.  They will have a place to call home. Here is what they say:

"O.K. Someday—we’re gonna get the jack together and we’re gonna have a little house and a couple of acres an’ a cow and some pigs and—"

"An’ live off the fatta the lan’,” Lennie shouted.

The other person who dreams is Curley's wife.  When she was younger, she wanted to be in the movies.  She shares this with Lennie. 

Apart from these characters, no one else dreams.
