Of Mice And Men Lonely Essay

In the story, of Mice and Men, there are few characters who are lonely or left out. The story is about two ranchers and they are best friends. They both don’t have a family anymore. All they can do is to depend on each other; Lennie had a disability. He can’t function like regular person . Lennie kills a dog and a man’s wife . But he did not mean any harm. Then there are Candy and Crooks , They are both lonely because there both handicapped. They don’t fit in like everybody else does. Lennie is a lonely, friendly, nice and very strong and tall man compared to all the other guys on the ranch . Lennie has mental disability so he can’t function like other people “What mouse George? I ain’t got no mouse”. Lennie likes to pet soft things , he had a dead mouse in his pocket and George asked for it. It’s important because it shows Lennie’s disability in action . No normal human being keeps a dead mouse in his/her pocket unless they have a mental disability. Also he really slurred his words a lot when he talks. “Aw, leave me have it , George”(5) this is important because, you can see
it shows how lonely they were : it also shows the reason why etc.. This really connects with society because , shows how people are 2 faced and how you can’t trust anybody . Not even the person who you are close too but i can understand why George shot him because he didn’t want the others to torture him . But i think it could have been a better things to do , like help him hide out or they body could have escaped together and Lennie could have lived another day. In all i think that the ending was really sad . His own friend shot him , but he took him out of his misery of people being mean to him . The other workers were going to hurt Lennie badly for for killing Curley’s wife , so George had the courage to kill his own friend ? it’s kinda reverse psychology if you ask
