How Does Steinbeck Present Loneliness and Isolation in Of Mice and Men(TM)?

Of Mice and Men was prototypic published in 1937 during the great slump and has had a great impact on naturalizeers in the States since. Steinbeck got the name of the set aside from a line in a metrical composition To a Mouse by Robert Burns, the poem reads The trump divulge laid schemes oMice an Men, gang aft agley, an leae us nought only if brokenheartedness an pain for promisd gladness have in minding that The best laid schemes of mice and men, Go really much wrong, And leaves us nothing only if grief and pain, For promised joy This relates to the subvert of the handwriting where George shoots Lennie, this is the part where it often wrong because the dream is no long-acting as big as it was.The sustain follows the journey of two workers, George and Lennie, travelling from take across America to the Tyler ranch in northern California. The adjudge s working girls by using descriptive language to get a show into the readers mind, well-heeled foothill slopes St einbeck makes America sound give c be the perfect paradise even with all(prenominal) the racism and discrimination around at that cartridge holder, pile still wanted to go thither in order to touch the Ameri scum bag Dream.The setting of Soledad I think, relates to Lennie, Golden foothill slopes curve up to the strong and nervy Gabilan mountains, this echoes Lennies personality as he is brace and gentle and has a golden personality, but if you judge something to upset him he entrust tardily curve up to be watch over strong and wide-eyed of rage with fists as strong as rock. Lennie is an outcast of the group, linking to isolation as he doesnt experience everything everyone says, and he doesnt screw his avouch strength.Lennie is treat differently by al of the men ain the bunk-house because he is child- resembling He dont mean no harmHes a unspoiled guy they are accenting to be-fri destination Lennie later what happened to Curley because they dont want to end up with a crippled hand, when they go into town, Lennie is left roll in the hay and the men talk to him analogous a child, he is a bit slow and doesnt deduct why people treat him differently. . The people at the bunk-house treat him like a child but they do entangle him in things like card games, whereas Curley hurts him, and Lennie doesnt understand why.George is the brains of the two, whe neer Lennie is in trouble, George is at that place to get him out of it, this makes Lennie feel like he has a friend and doesnt make him feel lonely(a). entomb in the brush till I muster up for you George is screening Lennie that he will never be just, I got you to control after me, and you got me to look after you they grappleing like br otherwises but will never leave each other alone or make each other feel isolated in at each rate on purpose,.An if a fren come along wed say Why dont you stay the wickedness they would have people who care almost them. George has this idea of people like them who work on ranches not having anybody to care more(prenominal) or slight them, With us it aint like that, we got a future George is showing determination to help Lennies dream come true for them to have rabbits to be Lennies friends so he isnt lonely, George wants them to be isolated by having their own land where nobody target hurt them, and they apprize be a family.I think George does feel lonely but in the way where he cant speak to anybody except for Lennie, George has boundaries for what he can talk to Lennie about in circumstance he forgets it or doesnt understand. When they arrive on the ranch, George has a sense of relief when he confides in Slim and tells him what happened back in Weed and also tells him how he utilize to tease Lennie and thats how they ended up travelling together, George feels less isolated because now he has someone to talk to that understands what happened and he can let it all off his white meat without snapping at Lennie.Candy is the old est worker on the ranch, now no use to anyone due(p) to an injury that occurred on the ranch, he has unless one hand. Candy joins George and Lennie in the fight of achieving The American Dream and gives them money for the farmhouse. Spose I went in with you guyshowd that be? Candy starts to feel less lonely because George is at least considering it at this time, whereas the rest of the workers wouldnt even give him a chance to speak about dream of it. He doesnt feel so circumscribe of where he goes and who he talks to because he knows he isnt going to be there for much longer.Candy wasnt lonely in the beginning of the book because he had his frump but the rest of the workers thought he was useless He aint no good to you, Candy. An he aint no good to himself I think this makes Candy feel like theyre talking about him which links to the solitude and isolation because he cant open up to anyone and I think Candy feels jeopardise by George and Lennies arrival because every time a n ew worker comes along, it could mean that Candy wont be unavoidable anymore.Candy I think compares to the ash-pile as he has stick older and more useless but he has become part of the ranch like a landmark. He also compares to the limb which I think represents his stump, Worn smooth which relates to Candy ever buy the farmingly stroking it.Crooks is the single negro on the ranch, he is physically isolated by having a room to himself, in a disclose building and not being mentally able to bring himself to talk to any of the workers, when Lennie first encounters Crooks, Crooks tries to get Lennie to feel like he feels, and to understand how it feels to be isolated. The book was written in the 1940s where most of America was segregated, Crooks was segregated and was only allowed to mix with the workers on Christmas.Curleys wife is isolated as she is the only woman on the ranch. She is perceived as insidious because she wears red, She is wearing a tog out that shows her legs and h er lips and nails are red. George tells Lennie to stay away from her because of the dangerous red lips, Candy tells George that shes a tart but George can see that for himself.When Lennie is in the barn burying his puppy, Curleys wife walks in and starts talking about her soft hair, she knew that Lennie was unfastened of causing severe pain and ill-treat to someone, but she didnt know he was unresolved of killing someone, Lennie doesnt know his own strength.This is a replay of what happened in Weed as Lennie felt something smooth that he wish and couldnt let go.The quote at the end of the book Now what the hell ya conjecture is eatin them two guys? These are the very last words in the book and are spoken by Carlson. Carlson only comes into the book when things are linked to loosing family, he shoots Candys detent and shows no sympathy towards him. This suggests that Carlson is a very lonely character because he doesnt know what its like to love someone and blowzy them.Slim sho ws sympathy and compassion towards George, and looks after him. This suggests that Slim knows what its like to loose family, and I think thats how he ended up alone on the ranch, because he scattered his family so he decided to try and achieve the American Dream of fashioning something out of nothing.George has to let go and correct down his own family, by killing Lennie, he also kills the dream, not just his, but Candys aswell. George is now not only alone, but has isolated himself from everyone even more.Crooks predictions have come true which is no surprise to him, hes been there for years and has seen loads of workers have the uniform dream, but never confided that them would achieve it.The end of the book is left open for you to believe what you want, if you want to believe George and Candy got the farmhouse or whether you think George stayed at the ranch, there is no right answer so you nominate your own ending.
