Consider The Theme Of Loneliness In The Novel Of Mice And Men. How Does It Affect The Characters?I will be looking at the theme of loneliness, how it effects thecharacters, how the scenes roll in with whats happening etc.When you read ab bulge out George and Lennie you realise that they have ahistory. You think that they are a perfect pair. One is smart,aggressive, quick and looks out for the other (George) while the otherone (Lennie) is slow, dumb, big, strong, kind, caring and needs to belooked out for.

Hedidnt make friends with them because being friends with them wouldcause trouble. Thats a smart thing and being smart is another qualityof Georges personality.I think that by making George the opposite of Lennie, Steinbeck is
