【 摘 要 】

This thesis is an attempt to analyse a long prose text, partly for its own value, and partly to investigate how useful stylistics can be in the study of longer prose works. The novel studied is Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. Eleven passages are examined in detail, each one for a specific reason, to investigate how the novel develops its themes.
