George and Lenny are traveling farm workers in the 1930's. The two men have a dream to rent their own farm and be their own bosses. Lenny is a gentle giant who is "slow". He loves to pet small furry animals because they are soft. George is often taking dead mice from Lenny. George is clever and is responsible for both of them. They are going to a new job.
Most of the characters have a dream-- there is a dream theme. George dreams of a farm of his own. Lenny dreams of caring for rabbits. The one handed worker dreams of a brighter future. The stable negro dreams of a place where he can feel free. The bride dreams of Hollywood and the movies. The son dreams of being the best of the men, stronger than any of them, above them all.
