  My views Plot Fanchon is a free-spirited young lady who lives in the woods with her grandmother. Judging by the clothing, the story takes place in the 1700's. The townspeople suspect that she and her grandmother are witches. After saving a young boy from drowning, they fall in love. She tells him to wait a year and if he still feels the same way they will marry. He returns in a year to attempt to marry her but she will not at the time as her grandmother is gravely ill. Her grandmother passes away and the young man falls ill. However, Fanchon helps to restore his health, thus ensuring a happy ending for the young couple.

To make matters worse, Curley's seductive and conniving wife, Mae, flirts with the other ranch hands. George orders Lennie not to talk to, or even look at her, as he senses the troubles that Mae could bring to them. Candy offers to join with George and Lennie so they can buy the farm and the dream appears to move closer to reality. Curley appears and makes a scene in the bunkhouse as the workers mock him after he accused Slim of keeping co...
