Résumé Les personnages féminins n’occupent qu’une petite place dans l’oeuvre de John Steinbeck. Poutant, cet article s’efforce d’étudier, par l’analyse des figures féminines dans Des souris et des hommes et Chrysanthème, la faiblesse et la solitude au fond de l’âme des femmes, qui se situent dans une position défavorable et n’arrivent pas à se libérer des restrictions, dans la lutte contre les hommmes et le processus de la poursuite de leurs rêves qui s’anéantissent en face du pouvoir absolu des hommes.
Mots clés: les femmes, les rêves, les restrictions, la solitude
