Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

The meaning of the novel’s title serves as a comparison between strong people and weak people!. The mice refer to the weak characters such as Lennie, Candy, Curley’s wife, and Crooks!. The men refer to the strong characters like Slim and George!. Steinbeck’s title comes from the poem by Robert Burns’ “To a Mouse”!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
