Loneliness In Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

Antonio ponders whether there is a god and considers the ideas of spin and salvation. Rudolfo Anaya (1994) noticed that, “Ay, how true,” my mother said and clutched me tightly, “and what a sin it is for a boy to grow into a man” (Rodolfo Anaya, 1994, p.31). This supports the idea that Antonio's mother wants him to become a priest because his mother is a devout Catholic woman and wants his son to be saved by the gods of the religion. In chapter Catorce, it talks about how Anthony lost his innocence and approach to maturity. According to the author, Rodolfo Anaya, “And I remember my dream, and said that he would not enter the house of a naked woman, until I lost my innocence” (Rodolfo Anaya, 1994, p.31).

Growing up, Florence did not have what most children had. He in fact grew up without his mother and father. He always mentioned that he did not believe in God based on the fact that his parent both died. He thought how could God take a child 's parents from them so young. Despite the fact that Tony was a massive believer in God, he still proceeded to be friends with Florence. One day, Florence was swimming in Blue Lake, he made his way to the back of the Lake. Kids were not allowed to be in this area but for some reason he went anyways. He was with a few boys from school and they noticed he had not came up in a while.When his body came a float, they noticed his arm had barbed wire so he must have been held down.  Cico and Tony arrived to see the Golden carp but got unexpected news that their friend

Antonio’s relationships with others, the events that he experiences, and his natural curiosity for the world and religion all lead to the conflicting beliefs and questions of morality that he develops throughout the story.

Unfortunately, the people furthest away from Antonio only increased the pressure on his shoulders. Antonio had a deep admiration for all three of his brothers that went off to war.Since his brothers were gone for so long, they are portrayed as distant characters that were always so far away

In the same dream, Tony admits to doubting God. And then sees his three brothers being whipped by the Trementina sisters. His brothers have asked for forgiveness for their sins, and this is when Tony admits he has doubted God, by saying, “...I am not a priest... I too have sinned! I have doubted the Lord!”

Antonio, who has begun to discover the importance of independence, must use this to his mother, who has her own vision of his future. The fact that he holds this value signifies growth in Tony’s character, and his continuing development into a man.

“I yearned for knowledge and understanding” (Anaya, 74). Antonio always wants to learn and is always inquiring into how the world works, and all the mysteries of the universe. “‘I am beginning to understand why your mother calls you the inquisitor,’ she said.” (Anaya, 33). Antonio’s mother recognizes his investigative nature so much that she has nicknamed him after this trait.

The point of having familial and inner tension within Antonio and Maggie was so that they’re able to use that tension and develop as a result from it. For Antonio both of his familial tension caused by his parents, and his inner tension, caused by death as well as religion, resulted in Antonio maturing as a character. Antonio being forced to either be a priest or a vaquero led to overall confusion to what or who he will be but through this confusion he made the decision upon himself that he will choose his own path and destiny. Antonio decided to make and follow his own dreams, he stood up for himself. Although it may be unclear what exactly Antonio ends up becoming, the reader can assume that Antonio became a writer due to his love of learning.

He feels a great sense of betrayal of his Mexican past. His connection that held him so close to his family is destabilized.

Crooks to Lennie, “There wasn’t another colored family for miles around. And now there ain’t a colored man on this ranch an’ there’s jus’ one family in Soledad.” (Steinbeck 69) Crooks was born in America, but he is still treated like a slave.

Anne Hathaway once said, “Loneliness is my least favorite thing about life. The thing I’m most worried about is just being alone without anybody to care for or someone to care for me.” The central theme in the novel Of Mice and Men, written during the Great Depression by John Steinbeck, is loneliness.
