John Steinbeck’s book, Of Mice and Men, was originally going to be titled “Something That Happened”. This title expresses the feeling that there is no control what takes place in this world. Things just happen. Nature is a continuous circle of life and death. Most people are born without choice and die without choice, making life a very mechanical process. “Something That Happened” would have been good title for the novel because it gives the reader a sense of the ending being inevitable. Lennie had always gotten in trouble no matter how hard George tried to prevent it. The killing of Curley’s wife was simply an impending tragedy waiting to happen.
