Of Mice and Men - Isolation
- Curley
- Aggressive Nature
- Scares everyone away with his intimidation and strength.
- Curley 'squares him [Lennie] up', abusing his power and status.

- Scares everyone away with his intimidation and strength.
- Objectification of Curley's wife
- The way Curley's Wife starts acting in the ranch can make other ranch workers dislike Curley, because
they think that he has married a 'tramp'. These rumours make Curley not approachable, as well as his
reputation for being 'handy'. They begin forming Curley's nature based on rumours, thinking that they
know him. In short, Curley's wife's actions indirectly make Curley not be approachable by the other ranch
workers, and this can be seen when Curley's hand got broken by Lennie and no one offered to help.
- However, this does not mean that Curley cares being isolated. He does not show any empathy towards others and is

- Aggressive Nature
- Candy
- Lost his dog
- Desperate to go with George
and Lennie's dream
- "I'd make a will an' leave it for you guys..."
- Shows that friendship can relieve the hard times of the Great Depression as
Candy had his dog back then to accompany him. When he lost his dog, he
realised that his situation of getting 'canned purty soon', where he could be
living alone and die alone because he mentioned that he 'ain't got no
relatives'. Steinbeck uses him to show that isolation is something that people
do no want in their life, as people still need to have company in their lives.
What would the purpose of living be if you have no one to live for?

- Lost his dog
- Crooks
- Accepts his isolation from the other ranch workers
- He actively told Lennie that he had 'no right' to come to his room.
- This is sad in the perspective that he knows that in 1930s in the US, black men were considered to be less
than white men. The fact that he has a crooked back means that he couldn't work as well as the
other ranch workers, which means that he is isolated doing his own job in the barn house, rarely
interacting with the other ranch workers.
