In this essay I will be talking about the character named Crooks. Crooks is a Black stable worker. He is disfigured due to an accident when he was a young man. He has a place of his own and stays there by himself. He doesn't want
             company. He also wants to be part of George and Lennie's dream. He said that
             he would work for free. He gives up on the farm dream when he realizes it
             isn't going to work out. He is the only one who understands Lennie, besides
             George, and befriends him. He looks past Lennie's mental handicap and Lennie
             looks past Crooks' physical handicap.
             Crooks is always being picked on by the other men at the ranch, mostly because of his colour. During the time in which the book was written in black people in America were thought of as a lower race than the white people. At the ranch, Crooks cannot live in the bunkhouse with all the other white men, instead live in some sort of barn house.
             Crooks has no privacy given to him, and feels that it is unfair for him not to enter the bunk-house but the other men in the farm can just walk into his room without permission. In the book "Of mice and men" Crooks says to Lennie, "You've no right to come into my room, nobody got any right in here but me." Showing his feeling that is unfair for a white person to walk in without permission. After he has talked to Lennie for a while, he starts to enjoy having some company to talk to because when he is in his room by himself, there is no one he can talk to and feels the loneliness without anyone.
             Crooks is The most lonely character in the book. Because Curley's wife had Curley and Curley had his wife and Crooks has no one. No one to speak to, no one to be with, and no one to keep him from going mad. He was completely alone.
