Of Mice and Men
"People ned people". An old saying, but one that still holds true today. John Stienbeck stressed this theme frequently in his book Of Mice and Men . Everybody needs somebody, no one wnast to be alone for ever. Curley's wife is a good example of pele need peole. She was alwyta walking around asking poeple "Have you guys seen Curley?"and when they said no she would try to stay there and start a conversation, btu nobody would wnat to talk to her because she was the boss's son's wife and someone might rat on someone else whcih would lead to someone getting fired. So the eventual result was no one would talk to Curley's wife, leaving her alone with no friends. So she ended up being mad at everyone and trying to get other peoples attention by flirting with them, giving her a non-respectable socirty name.
I shoudn't ought to of let no stranger shoot my dog, I shoudda done it myself. This disconcern fr his feelings as caused by the color of his skin. When he's talking to Lennie about not being able to sleep in the bunk house with every one else and Lennie can't get the meaning Crooks is trying to get across he tells Lennie this; "If I say anything, why it's just a nigger aysin it. They led such miserable lives deu to thier lack of a friend, the lack of someone to talk to. And since there was no one of the ranch of same skin as he was, he was left alone with no one else to talk to that could relate to him or help him with his problems. " Lennie proboly doesntget this but the reader can understand it, whihc help get the point that Stienbeck is tring tog et across, People need people, they shoudn't have to be alone. Even one friend could have helped them live suhc a better life. Curley's wife, Candy, and Crooks all needed companions. Later on he tells George, "I ought to of shot that dog myself, George. No one slept in the same room with him and they only talked to him to tell him to do something. He was a lonley black stbale buck that wasn't treated as fairly as the oter workers on the farm because he's black. After Carelson kills Candy's dog Candy becomes depressed and eventually begins to cry. Cause after all, people ned people.
