The mouse in the poem is similar to Lennie. The mouse has a plan to build a home, and Lennie has a dream to get a ranch. But then later int he poem, the mouses home is destroyed, and it was beyond his power to fix it all he could od is run. The same thing happened to Lennie, he killed Curley's wife, and his dream was crushed he then ran to his hiding spot where he was killed, as the mouse will probably die in the poem.
