Best Answer

The title is taken from a Robert Burn's poem titled "To A Mouse." In the poem, a plow overturns a mouse's burrow, to which Burns writes, "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry." Just like the mouse, George and Lennie's dream to have a plot of land of their own and be their own bosses is shattered by unforeseeable circumstances.
