George is defensive because he is worried that sharing the dream with Candy would make it less likely to become a reality. He is concerned that if too many people know about their plan to own a farm, it could be jeopardized by interference or envy from others. Additionally, George may not fully trust Candy or believe that he will keep the dream a secret.
Because when George killed Lennie, their dream was crushed and Candy was essentially going to piggyback on their dream.
Candy is going to help George and Lennie buy the dream ranch by offering to contribute money he has saved up for it.
George is afraid to have Candy overhear his plans for the farm and his dream to join Lennie in owning rabbits. He worries that Candy will judge him or interfere with his aspirations.
In Of Mice and Men, George is noted from the start as the sharp, practical one of the two. When Candy tells George that has the savings to join in the plan, George says that he will consider it but makes Candy promise to keep it secret, so George, Lennie, and Candy make a pact to keep their dream to themselves.
Join Lennie and George's dream
Candy has been listening to George and Lennie's conversation about the ranch. He interrupts them by offering to contribute his savings towards their dream of owning a piece of land.
In John Steinbeck's novel "Of Mice and Men," Lennie and George share a dream of owning a piece of land where they can live self-sufficiently and free from the difficulties of working for others. They envision themselves living off the land, with Lennie tending the rabbits and George overseeing their home. This dream represents their desire for independence, stability, and a sense of belonging.
George allows Candy to live on their dream farm because Candy offers to contribute a large amount of money towards purchasing the farm. This money is crucial for George and Lennie to achieve their dream of owning a piece of land and living independently. Additionally, Candy is willing to work hard and be a useful hand on the farm, which adds value to their partnership.
He wishes to join Lennie and George in "their dream" of buying their own ranch.
I do not believe dream sharing is possible
Candy offers George and Lennie money to help them buy the land they dream of owning. Candy is desperate to join them in their dream of owning a piece of land and is willing to contribute financially to make it a reality. He sees this as an opportunity to have a sense of belonging and security in his old age.
