The Loneliness Of mice and Men :: essays research papers
The Loneliness Of Mice and Men à à à à à In the touching and gripping tale of John Steinbeckââ¬â¢s novel, Of Mice and Men, he explains many themes throughout the books. One of the major themes is loneliness, which is shown throughout many different characters, for example, Curleyââ¬â¢s wife, the stable buck (Crooks), and Lennie. à à à à à ââ¬Å"ââ¬â¢I get lonelyââ¬â¢ she said ââ¬ËYou can talk to people, but I canââ¬â¢t talk to nobody but Curley, else he gets mad. Howââ¬â¢d you like not to talk to nobody?ââ¬â¢Ã¢â¬ (Page 87) This quote is said by Curleyââ¬â¢s wife when all the men went to town, including her husband. It shows that she spends all her time alone, in her house as the men work in the fields. She is also not allowed to talk to anyone but her husband who spends all of this time in the fields, so she feels like she is living alone all her life. This forces her to talk to anybody she finds. This shows her case of loneliness, and Crooks almost has the same situation. ââ¬Å"A guy goes nuts if he ainââ¬â¢t got nobody. Donââ¬â¢t make no difference who the guy is, longââ¬â¢s heââ¬â¢s with you. ââ¬ËI tell yaââ¬â¢ he cried. ââ¬ËI tell ya a guy gets too lonely anââ¬â¢ he gets sick.â⬠(Page 72-73) As you can see, Crooks also spends most of his time alone because he is black. He is not allowed to enter the bunk house nor go to town with the guys. He is not allowed to enter the bunk house, he is not allowed to go to town with the guys and nobody likes him because he is black. This shows that he has no friendship and his whole life is filled with loneliness. His case is different from Lennieââ¬â¢s. à à à à à ââ¬Å"You ainââ¬â¢t gonna leave me, are ya George. I know you ainââ¬â¢t (page 103)â⬠¦ Sââ¬â¢pose George donââ¬â¢t come back, sââ¬â¢pose he took a powder and just ainââ¬â¢t comin back.
