'Loneliness in of Mice and Men\r'

'8. desolation is a very important issue in Of Mice and Men. Which shargons ar lonesome(a)(prenominal)(prenominal) and why? Of Mice and Men illustrates the lonesowork forceess of ranch carriage during the Great Depression in the 1930’s. Steinbeck creates a lonely and a blue aura at m whatever times in the novel. He uses words ‘Soledad’ which is referred to solitude, which means forlornness; and the card game ‘Solit be’ which means by one’s self. Not but the characters are lonely; Steinbeck makes it clear that only Crooks, Curley’s wife and dulcify are the lonely characters in the ranch.The loneliest character is Crooks. He is isolated from the new(prenominal) ranchers because of his race. He isn’t completelyowed to join any social activities at the ranch and is completely left break through alone. He’s so lonely that he considers reading books to accompany him. yet though he doesn’t bear witness i t, he is desperate to have individual to call down to. When Lennie comes in his room, Crooks just keeps on talking to him and doesn’t care whether he was listening or not. Crooks theorizes to Lennie â€Å"A rib goes nuts if he aint got nada. Dont matter no difference who the guy is, longs he with you.I separate ya a guy gets too lonely an’ he gets sick. ” This shows that he urgently needfully a friend to talk to and he’s at the point where he is becoming emotionally sick of it. Crooks as well as says â€Å"An never a God damned one of `em ever gets it. only if homogeneous heaven. Everbody exigencys a little plot of land of lan. Its just in their head. ” This shows that he has no hope for a bright rising and that he doesn’t believe that the workforce from the ranch are ever sledding to a better place. The second loneliest is Candy, an experient swamper at the ranch who is disabled callable to an accident in the past.His only lodge is his ancient drop behind, until Carlson shoots it for him because it is old and inconstant, just like Candy. Later on in the novel, he wishes he should have shot the track himself, which is similar to the ending of the novel. When his dog dies, he looks for new friendship, he doesn’t want to grow older being by himself. He hopes George and Lennie leave behind become his friends when he hears them talking about their dreaming ranch. He offers his savings for the dream, which makes George and Lennies dream begin to be actually possible to achieve. Spose I went in with you guys. Thats three hundred and fifty bucks Id stick in… Howd that be? ” This shows that he rattling intends to be part of the dream. He is useless at the ranch, he knows that he’s going to be sacked preferably or later and he will have no place, no friends and nothing. That’s why he is giving his savings for the dream ranch, which possibly he could cost the rest of h is life in. Candy desperately tries to be a part of the dream shows us how lonely he real is. Curleys wife is the least lonely character out of all three.She’s controlled by her conserve, Curley, who doesn’t let her speak to any of the men on the ranch, which leads her into being lonely. make up though Curleys wife is mentioned frequently, Steinbeck doesn’t put out her real name throughout the unanimous novel. All the ranchers consider her as an object, preferably of a normal human being. The ranchers wear thin’t even bother to absorb a conversation with her because of her husband, who thinks he is all tough and strong. Curley’s wife has no female friends on the ranch, so the ranchers are her only option, but too naughtiness they fag’t want to be friends with her.She realizes that Lennie isn’t like the other men and she intends to be friends with him. She says to Lennie â€Å"Think I hold out’t like to talk to someb ody ever one time in a while? ” This shows that she’s trying to say that she is desperately wants to talk to somebody as she hardly ever talks to anyone because nobody at the ranch listens to her. Although she has a husband which should make her not as lonely as she really is, the fact is that he ignores her and just goes out to Cat houses once in a while, yet he doesn’t allow to talk to anybody or to go anywhere.I think in conclusion, loneliness have a big hazard on people. It makes Crooks, Candy and Curley’s wife suffer. Crooks says he’s sick because he doesn’t have anybody to talk to. Candy is very old and his old dog is his only friend, which then gets shot, which makes him even lonelier. Curley’s wife dies because she has no one to talk to as well, so when she starts talking to the puerile Lennie, who accidently kills her in the barn. I think the other men like Slim, Carlson and Whit are also lonely but they don’t make i t as a big deal and they just go on with their lives\r\n'
