I don't understand the question, is the question whether the American Dream was a success/failure for G&L?
Steinbeck criticises the American dream and doesn't think It will become true so yeah he see's it as a failiure, as you have noticed no one in of mice and men achieved their dreams :smile:

I agree with the above. Also, it obviously was a short-lived dream if anything because for a while, yeah they were happy with their wages and were actually starting to save up. For them, it was a failure because it was just a dream in the end, it wasn't put into action.

Sorry it's been over 2 years since I studied OMAM haha however I agree with the above poster again.
Failure. Both end up destitute, homeless, and Lennie ends up with a bullet in the back of his head.

No. We are one the part when Candy gets introduced
Your dream can happen anywhere with hard work and dedication, don't matter whether you're The United States of America or Armenia...
