In the dramatic book Of Mice and Men it tells of two best friends going through the mid-west to find work after being chased out of a local county nearby. The story is about two men George and Lenny, George have a small stature but being very well witted and knowing how to find his way out of the trouble Lenny always seems to get them in. Lenny on the other hand is a huge man and as strong as they come but isnt very intelligent and relies on George to look after him. But the point of this paper isnt to explain charters of the novel but to examine their actions and what the main emotion that fuels their actions and after thinking over this giant topic I have conclude that In Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck demonstrates how loneliness can cause people to do the unthinkable and how nobody is above being consumed with loneliness.
Loneliness is a strong emotion one of the most powerful it can that the richest of men and make them poor and John Steinbeck shows us this in Of Mice and Men by giving every character no matter how wealthy or poor they all in some way deal with the enormous emotion. George himself said it best in the book A guy goes nuts if he aint got nobody. Dont make a difference who the guy is, longs he with you a guy gets too lonely an he gets sick. so he does give us clues and sort of tells us throughout the book what the real meaning is about he also shows what the face of loneliness really is for example the character Candy and his dog. Candy had that dog since it was a pup and as he aged so did the dog and as it describes in the book, the dog is very old and just out of life but yet Candy just cant let go. Mostly for the reason that thats all hes got or has had so when they took the dog out to shoot him Candy just rolled over in his bed and acted or pretend that it was all just a big dream. Throughout the rest of the book you can tell Candy will never be the same and begins to befriend to befriend George and Lenny just because of their big scheme to leave and get a ranch of their own one day.
