Do you think that Steinbeck conveys the message that nearly all human beings have a deep need for affection and respect?
Yes I do think that Steinbeck conveys the message that nearly all human beings have a deep need for affection and respect because there is a lot of characters in the story that are very lonely and depressed, they need someone to talk to and to discuss their own problems with. Curley’s wife is very lonely and she doesn’t have anyone to talk to. She is the only woman on the ranch and isn’t treated properly. She has a dream to become and actress and she tells us the story about the time she was talking to a man and he told her that he would send her a letter back to become an actress and she is still waiting on the letter. She should be respected and it makes us release it.
