Of Mice and Men

Most people have felt lonely in their life one time or another. John Steinbeck wrote a great story about loneliness called “Of Mice and Men”. Loneliness can be hard on someone and this book gives many examples of people being lonely and how they deal with it. John Steinbeck portrays the theme of loneliness through the characters of Candy, Curley’s wife, and Crook.

Candy was a lonely character until the end of the book. In the beginning it seemed like he only had his dog and no friends. Towards the end it seemed like he started doing more things with the guys and he started to feel accepted because they were going to let him move on to the ranch with them.

He also got picked on a lot by the guys, but didn’t say anything in his defense. He was really striving for someone to talk to. Crook said, “I seen it over an’ over-a guy talkin’ to another guy and it don’t make no difference if he don’t hear or understand. The thing is, they’re talkin’, or they’re settin’ still not talking.
