Lonliness and Friendship
In Of Mice and Men, written by George Steinbeck, George and Lennie's vision is of a place of their own, where they can live and have rabbits and can be protected from hurt. As the two men think about their dreams of the future, Candy, Crooks, and even Curley's wife reveal that they also have dreams of a life far different from this present one. George trusts Lennie too much and as a result, Lennie kills both Curley's wife and George's dream at the same time. The relationship between George and Lennie is unique in that the farmhand is usually an isolated person. It is emphasized that two workers are virtually never seen together. Lennie and George ha
Old Candy has only one dog and when it is killed, he hears of George and Lennie's dream and attaches himself to them so that he won't end up someday totally alone and friendless. ve an attachment and understanding between them; their relationship is different and valuable. Don't make no difference who the guy is, as long as he is with you. She seeks out Lennie's friendship because the other men fear Curly and will have nothing to do with her. Also, Crooks is betrayed to be on the verge of destruction, because " a guy needs somebody to be near him. " Crooks would be willing to come to the farm and work for nothing just to have the opportunity to communicate with people. If George and Lennie's relationship did not exist, the killing of Lennie would not hold the tragedy because, now George's life has become as lonely, and as frustrated, as the lives of Curly, Candy, and Curly's wife. Two important aspects of human nature brought out in the story are: the ability to dream and the desire to have someone to share the dream with.
