Abstract

This paper explores the use of stylistic devices in John Steinbeck’s novella Of Mice and Men. Through an analysis of literary elements such as symbolism, imagery, foreshadowing, and colloquial dialogue, the study illustrates how Steinbeck crafts a powerful narrative that reflects the socio-economic realities of the 1930s. The aim of this presentation is to demonstrate how these techniques contribute not only to the emotional intensity of the novella but also to its enduring relevance in literary studies.
