Write a paragraph that analyzes how symbolism OR foreshadowing helps to develop a Modernist theme throughout the novella. (You should provide evidence from the first half of the novel and from the second half of the novel to show the theme developing).

Foreshadowing helps give the reader insight into what will happen in the future. Foreshadowing is used early in the novella when Steinbeck foreshadows that Lennie will accidentally kill Curley's wife while trying to stroke her hair. Lennie seems to kill everything he pets: mice, a dog, and eventually Curley's wife. Since the act of petting is so innocent, we as the reader do not suspect Lennie of being capable of murder. In the beginning Lennie is depicted as being weak and not able to do very much, but as the story progresses, we see his true identity show through.
