Loneliness in the novel "Of mice and Men"

The Feeling Only the Lonely could Feel         Loneliness is the core of a broken soul. It feeds on exile and hate. It engulfs dreams, pleasures and certain futures. Those who live with loneliness everyday cannot express how deep of a feeling it is to have everything you enjoy crushed by the absence of companionship. In the novel, Of Mice and Men, Steinbeck explores the relationship of loneliness to a human being by his three characters: …

…lost their dreams and hopes to loneliness and it effected each of their lives differently. Crook's life was effected by him excepting the racism and not fighting for what he felt was right. Candy's life was effected by him not wanting to live anymore. Curly's wifes life was effected by her getting killed because she was so desperate to have a friend. Each of the characters felt the feeling that only the lonely could feel.
