to George .” (Steinbeck 72) Lennie is taking what Crook’s said and losing his grip, and blowing it out of proportion.
“They started to crave stimulation, talking, singing or reciting poetry to themselves to break the monotony.Later many of them became anxious or highly emotional” Lennie is slowly losing his grip on reality and taking things out of context and getting highly emotional these pieces of evidence go into detail and show. As well as,the characters are lonely and lose their grip on reality, the lonely conditions in which the character's work and live, it’s hard for them not to.
Regarding loneliness can make you angry,”God a’mighty,If i was alone I could live easy.I could go get a job an’ work an’ no trouble no mess at all, and when the end of the month come I could take my fifty bucks and go into town and get whatever I want.” “An’ whatta I got, I got you!”(Steinbeck 11)George basically,says that he wishes he were alone so he could go do whatever he wants,but he’s stuck with Lennie. “They may feel frustrated that they can’t get the people who seem to be causing their suffering to change people around the angry or irritable depressed person may see them as mean,angry or a bully.” (-GoodTherapy.org) George is angry,he wants to be alone and wishes he could do things, he wants to do, these sources are a good example of how loneliness can change you, and make you angry and change you as a person and act irrational.Corresponding loneliness will change you and cause you to act out, George may love and care for Lennie but, he wants no trouble and be able to do things in which as said he is not able to do taking care of Lennie.
In view of, Loneliness can make you sick.”A guy goes nuts if he ain’t got nobody.Don’t make no difference who the guy is, long's he’s with you.
I tell ya a guy gets too lonely an’ he gets sick”(Steinbeck 72,73) Being alone and, having no one can physically and mentally make you sick. Everyone needs someone to be there and listen. All of John steinbeck’s characters admit at one point to having an intense sense of loneliness and isolation. They will settle for anyone to listen. “Chronically lonely people have higher blood pressure, are more vulnerable to infection and are also more likely to develop, Alzheimer's disease and dementia” We may want solitude and to be alone but in the long term it’s not good for us mentally or physically (as stated above). Equally John Steinbeck’s characters are lonely and need someone they are sick and we all derive meaning from our emotional states through contact with others, Which these characters (Candy,Crooks Curley’s wife ) need. Loneliness is dangerous. “Life's no good without a companion to turn to in times of
need/confusion’
As can be seen,Loneliness can make you angry and lose your grip on reality. Loneliness is a big impact on people to summarize, it can make you sick physically and mentally. Steinbeck’s characters are lonely and idealize friendships between others and dreams of having land to call theirs.Of mice and men is a novel in part about friendships, yet the story is people with isolation and loneliness.
