WHO IS THE LONLIEST PERSON Characters like Crooks, Candy and Curley’s wife are particularly isolated because they are different
CURLEY'S WIFE
-
Explain
NOBODY, anyone in his fiend, he is completely lone
CROOKS
“… I ain’t wanted in the bunk house, and you ain’t wanted in my room.”
Crooks is physically separated from the other workers on the ranch because of his race. This literal isolation makes him angry and bitter towards people when they do approach him, demonstrating the damaging effects of loneliness.
Crooks is isolated because of his skin colour. As the only black man on the ranch, he is not allowed into the bunkhouse with the others, and he does not associate with them. He combats his loneliness with books and his work, but even he realises that these things are no substitute for human companionship.
Explain
Anyone in his room, he is totally lone. and he doesn’t want nobody
CANDY
-
Candy is isolated because of his age and disability, making him less useful on the ranch and therefore insignificant. The lack of reaction to Candy’s pleading look when Carlson wants to kill his dog represents the lack of empathy that the other men feel for those in pain. Candy’s need for a companion is not acknowledged because they are not able to form relationships themselves.
GENERAL RISPONCE
STARTING
ENDING
Characters like Crooks, Candy and Curley’s wife are particularly isolated in the novel, leading to all of them behaving in strange or unpleasant ways in attempts to alleviate their loneliness. Candy allows his dog to be shot; Crooks is cruel to Lennie when he enters his room; and Curley’s wife flirts with the men on the ranch in an attempt to get attention. This demonstrates the damaging effects of loneliness.
Crooks, Candy and Curley’s wife are the loneliest characters in Of Mice and Men because they are isolated due to their differences. They are separate from the rest of the characters on the ranch
