-Lennie and George's dreams are shattered because they want to buy their own land and get very close to that dream due to Candy's monetary contribution. They get very close until Lennie makes the same mistake of killing someone again and ruins everything. They are then back to square one and their dreams are shattered.
-Curley's wife's dreams of being an actress never come true because her mother won't let her, so now she is stuck being the only woman on the farm in an unsuccessful marriage. "I always thought my ol' lady stole it"..."so I married Curley", this shows because her dreams were shattered she got married to someone just to spite her mother and is now stuck in this unhappy marriage, "I don't like Curley. He ain't a nice fella."
-Crooks dreams of being considered an equal human are shattered because they never come true. He always reads the book of laws because he has hope that someday that will happen and believes so strongly in rights yet throughout the book he is treated the same so obviously his dreams don't come true. "And he had books, too; a tattered dictionary and a mauled copy of the California civil code for 1905", this shows how strongly he believed that there will be a change and how optimistic and hopeful he was yet his dreams were shattered because they never came true and nothing ever changed, even at the very end of the book things were still exactly the same.
-Candy, due to the fact that Lennie makes the same mistake again, Candy is also affected because he has put his all into being a part of this dream with them. He has lost his companion so now he has no-one other than Lennie and George and without them he won't know what to do. He began believe so much in their dream and now Lennie has ruined it all for them and his dreams are now shattered as well. "you know where's a place like that?", he looked forward to this dream and then it was destroyed and now there was no hope for him.
