In "Of Mice and Men," the character Lennie Small is often associated with mice. He enjoys petting soft things but has a tendency to be too rough, resulting in accidentally killing the mice he tries to care for. This pattern foreshadows later events in the story involving the treatment of animals and other vulnerable characters.
Of Mice and Men it is a quote from Robert Burns's poem To a Mouse, on Turning up her nest with a Plough:
"The best laid schemes of mice and men
Gang aft agley, "
Which may be translated as "the best laid plans of mice and men often go askew"
It could be argued that all of the characters can, to some extent, be likened to the mice in this poem as they all have dreams which will never come true ("go askew").
For example;
All of the characters are like mice in that they are all controlled by something bigger than them; as mice are controlled by men, so the characters are controlled by the social and economic circumstances in the Great Depression, which led to a huge increase in the number of "lonely" itinerant workers. Steinbeck's theme of determinism reflects this point.
