Abstract
This article, The Literary Analysis of the Stylistic Devices Used in John Steinbeck’s Novel "Of Mice and Men", explores the various literary techniques that contribute to the novel’s thematic depth and emotional impact. Through an in-depth examination of Steinbeck’s use of symbolism, foreshadowing, imagery, and dialogue, the study highlights how these devices enhance character development and reinforce the novel’s central themes of friendship, loneliness, and the fragility of dreams. The analysis also considers the role of regional dialect and narrative structure in shaping the realism and authenticity of the novel. By incorporating scholarly perspectives and textual evidence, this article provides a comprehensive understanding of Steinbeck’s literary craftsmanship and the enduring significance of "Of Mice and Men" in American literature.
