Loneliness and exclusion from society hurts and affects everyone; the emotional strain a person endures from it creates the image they present to others, but deep down they are not the display image they manufacture. As an illustration, while opening up to Lennie in the barn Curley’s wife states, “I get lonely… You can talk to people, but I can’t talk to nobody but Curley. Else he gets mad.
The Unwanted John Steinbeck expresses loneliness, which is the feeling of being lost and forgotten, through many characters in the novella Of Mice and Men. Steinbeck portrays the different forms of loneliness through many different people such as George, Lennie, Curley’s wife, and Crooks. Although these characters still have people in their lives, Steinbeck indicates a form of loneliness they possess. Albert Schweitzer always said, “We are all so much together, but we are all dying of loneliness.” Crooks may be the definition of loneliness, because he portrays it the most in Of Mice and Men.
Loneliness can be the death of people. Some think that loneliness does not taint our world but they are dead wrong. In the story Of Mice and Men, author John Steinbeck portrays the loneliness and independence portrayed on people who live on ranches. Crooks is a black man who has separated himself from everyone else because he doesn't feel welcome as he is black and he feels a certain friction to be independent. But really, all he wants is someone to talk to. Curley’s wife is a woman who is depicted as being a cruel and mean person but really all she wants is someone to talk to as well because she is lonely. Lastly, Lennie is a very kind man who is slow and all he wants to do is pet soft things but he is too aggressive and hurts or kills things when he panics.
Curley’s wife’s agony of loneliness is revealed when she enters the room while Lennie and Crooks are talking. Crooks immediately tells her that she should probably be in her own house because he does not want any trouble. Curley’s wife responds, “Well, I ain’t giving you no trouble. Think I don’t like to talk to somebody ever’ once in awhile? Think I like to stick in that house all the time?”

Every farm has a worker that everyone looks up to for leadership, trust and respect. In Of Mice and Men, Slim quiet at first , but when he does speak, his voice carries over every conversation in the room. He assumes the role of final authority when he makes a decision, everyone else respects him for it. Slim made himself one of the vital characters of the story by providing his knowledge and understandings when he talked with George about him and Lennie, when he reassured George and Lennie about the breaking of Curly’s hand, and when he tried to help out George when he killed Lennie. The friendship that occurred between George and Lennie happens extremely rarely.
Loneliness is a feeling all people experience at some point in their life. Throughout the story, characters face loneliness or have the fear of facing loneliness. In John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men, George and Lennie traveled together all over the country and stayed at a ranch on the Salinas Valley, where they hoped to get enough money to buy the land they dream of. George and Lennie do not face loneliness for the majority of the story but Crooks, the stable buck, faced loneliness. Crooks was the negro of the Salinas Valley, and because of his skin color no one wanted him.
“You tart!” is one of the many mean things they say to her. It makes her feel out of place, offended, which ultimately leads to loneliness because she feels like nobody likes her. Another factor in Curley’s Wife’s loneliness is the fact that there are no other females in
“They left the weak ones here” Curley’s wife stated when the other men went off into town, leaving herself, Candy, Crooks, and Lennie. Though in Of Mice and Men George and Lennie seek friendship and asylum with each other, there is a sense of division between the strong and the weak. The weak, being Crooks who is isolated because of race, Candy who is isolated because of his age and injury, Lennie who is isolated because of his mental disability, and Curley's Wife who is an outcast because she is female, are treated as less than the other men, dehumanized throughout the writing itself. Lennie is compared to several animals within the first chapter, "...and he walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws." (pg. 2) as well as a horse and a terrier.
Curly’s wife wasn’t aloud to talk to anyone that is why she was lonely. Many people can relate to loneliness. That is why, it is the most commonly read book in the American schools because it teaches us everyone goes through loneliness.(Mental Floss).

This book has many plot twist to it and one of them is loneliness which mainly all characters feel in this book. They feel like this because they don't have anyone to depend on, everyone just does their own thing, live their own lives and mainly just worry about themselves because there isn't anyone else for they to care or worry about. But three main people that stood out to me were Crooks, Curley's wife, and Candy. They are different people and they feel alone in different ways but somehow similar too. Everyone feels alone because they don't really know anyone else but the people they work with, I feel like they really don't like each other either because in the book their always talking bad about one another, but they also feel lonely
What is loneliness? Loneliness is when someone is sad because they don’t have any friends or company. In Of Mice and Men there is quite a bit of loneliness that goes on with quite a few of the characters.

This soliloquy to herself underlines the barrier between her and eradicating loneliness from her life by demonstrating how the restrictions applied by society affect her mindset and her approach to others. Diction suggests dissatisfaction towards Curley as a companion, however it also underlines she chooses to stay with him, knowing his cruel tendencies which she imitates to whom she wants to start a “friendship” with. Prejudice and segregation in 1930’s society limited social interaction and isolated people. Crooks later on observed, “I seen guys nearly crazy with loneliness for land but. a whole house or blackjack game took what it takes.”(76).
