    does not have any identity or position on the ranch.  As Curley’s Wife is a representation of all women in the 1930s I feel Steinbeck uses her to show that most women back then had no identity or position in the working world. No characters in the novella care for Curley’s Wife and very little attention is given to her.  However many of the men only see her as an object. I think Steinbeck conveys that idea by his description of her.  When we and George and Lennie are first introduced to her‚ Steinbeck

    As the 14th Dalai Lama wrote in his book Beyond Religion: Ethics for a Whole World‚ ¨Recognizing our shared humanity and our biological nature as beings whose happiness is dependent on others‚ we learn to open our hearts‚ and in doing so we gain a sense of purpose and connection with those around us¨ (H.H.

    Crooks is isolated because of color and his disability. He is physically divided from his fellow co workers and lives in a separate bunkhouse. His loneliness forces him to acquiesce when Lennie tries to make a decent conversation with him. But when Lennie fills Crooks in about the dream farm place‚ all he does is laughs.

    In the novella ‘Of Mice and Men’‚ John Steinbeck uses strengths and weaknesses by using the characters to show both their strengths and weaknesses.

George trying to pretend that his feelings for Lennie mean nothing. The entire novel is repetitive in themes and expressed views. Loneliness and companionship are one of the many themes
