Loneliness is a very important theme in ‘Of Mice and Men’ Which characters are lonely, and why?
The issue of 'Loneliness' is very strongly portrayed in the story of Mice and Men. It is generally a part of all the characters, however they’re all lonely in different ways and for their own personal reasons. The companionship between George and Lennie is a complete contrast to the relationships between the people that are around them -the loneliness of the homeless ranch worker, the loneliness of the outcast black man, the loneliness of the subjected woman, the loneliness of the old helpless cripple. Even so, both George and Lennie seem different, they’re unique because they have each other, however George is still lonely.
