    John Steinbeck’s novel of ‘Of Mice and Men’ and Sam Mendes’ ‘American Beauty’ each explore the American dream, an ideal of a happy and successful life to which all may aspire and achieve. Both texts place their own contextual perspective upon its ideals and the settings are the main distinguishing points between the texts, from the Californian Dust Bowl in the 1930s to the globalised commercial 21st century. ‘Of Mice and Men’ suggests that the American Dream is to attain private land ownership, so as to belong to something and to call it his own. Although this dream is unattainable, the novel also focuses on the celebration of friendship and that it is used as a coping mechanism against the harsh misanthropic world the characters are placed in. On the other hand, ‘American Beauty’ satirises the flaws of the American Dream through the depiction of dysfunctional families who have already achieved the dream. These families superficially chase material wealth yet they are presented as being anything but content. Ultimately, both of these texts explore the necessity of human desires and the inevitable loss resulting from attempt to pursue these desires.…
