Of Mice and Men - Isolation
  1. Curley
    1. Aggressive Nature
      1. Scares everyone away with his intimidation and strength.
        1. Curley 'squares him [Lennie] up', abusing his power and status.
      2. Objectification of Curley's wife
        1. 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.
          1. However, this does not mean that Curley cares being isolated. He does not show any empathy towards others and is
      3. Candy
        1. Lost his dog
          1. Desperate to go with George and Lennie's dream
            1. "I'd make a will an' leave it for you guys..."
              1. 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?
          2. Avoids having his dog killed
            1. "He's been with me ever since he was a pup."
              1. This shows his dog's sentimental value to him and his importance. He does not want to lose his dog, as it has been with him for a long duration, and was the only thing that had keep him company in the ranch.
          3. Crooks
            1. Accepts his isolation from the other ranch workers
              1. He actively told Lennie that he had 'no right' to come to his room.
                1. 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.
