Loneliness and alienation in "Of Mice And Men"


There are many characters in the novel that experience loneliness. Lennie experiences loneliness and alienation because of his disabilities, Candy because of his old age and handicap, Curley's wife because of her status, and Crooks because of his skin colour. These characters reflect loneliness in our world. People treat other people differently because they're different. In our world, people with disabilities, old age, status, and skin colour are also lonely and alienated.

“We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.” - Orson Welles
