Of Mice and Men is a novella written by John Steinbeck that tells the story of two friends, George and Lennie, who travel together and work on ranches in California during the Great Depression. The two men have a dream of one day owning their own farm, but their plans are ultimately thwarted by the harsh realities of the world around them.
In writing this eulogy, it is with a heavy heart that I must bid farewell to these two complex and enduring characters. George and Lennie were more than just friends; they were like brothers, bound together by a shared dream and a deep, unbreakable bond.
Despite the challenges and hardships they faced, George and Lennie remained fiercely loyal to one another. George always looked out for Lennie, who struggled with mental disabilities, and Lennie looked up to George with a sense of childlike awe and adoration. They were a team, and they stuck together through thick and thin.
Their dream of owning their own farm may have seemed like a pipe dream to some, but to George and Lennie it was a beacon of hope that kept them going. It gave them something to work towards, something to believe in, and something to hold onto when times were tough.
Unfortunately, fate had other plans for George and Lennie. They faced discrimination and mistreatment at every turn, and their dream of owning a farm seemed to slip further and further out of reach. But even in the face of adversity, they never lost hope or gave up on each other.
In the end, it was a tragic twist of events that took George and Lennie from us. But their legacy will live on forever, as a testament to the enduring power of friendship and the human spirit. They may be gone, but they will never be forgotten.
So let us all remember George and Lennie, not just for the hardships they faced, but for the unwavering love and loyalty they had for each other. May they rest in peace, knowing that they will always be remembered as two of the most enduring and beloved characters in literature. So, this is a eulogy for George and Lennie, two remarkable men who will be missed by all who knew them. Rest in peace, George and Lennie. You will always be remembered.
