Von Mäusen und Menschen

The characters' aspirations felt so genuine and heartbreaking. I wonder what personal history shaped Steinbeck's portrayal of hope and despair.

The conclusion was so powerful yet unsettling. It left me contemplating the harsh realities faced by these characters and whether it was inevitable.

The historical context added so much depth to the characters' struggles. I'm curious whether Steinbeck aimed to comment on that era specifically or if it was more about universal themes.
