Why is loneliness inevitable? Loneliness is inevitable in the book because back in the 1930’s there was a lot of prejudice, sexism and racism and no one really talked to anyone that they didn’t know. Loneliness is inevitable in the book because back in the 1930’s there was a lot of prejudice, sexism and racism and no one really talked to anyone that they didn’t know. The 1930’s was the year of the Great Depression in America which meant that to get money people had to keep moving around the country to live and work so there wasn’t much time to make friendships before moving on somewhere else to earn a living.

Crooks Crooks is lonely because at the time America was really racist and treated black people like slaves. No one in the ranch would talk to him because of his skin colour. “ I ain’t wanted in the bunk house, and you ain’t wanted in my room” … “ Cause I’m black. They play cards in there but I can’t play because I’m black. They say I stink." Crooks is lonely because at the time America was really racist and treated black people like slaves.

This shows that he is lonely because he has no friends and instead spends all his time in the barn, alone apart from the horses. This could also show that he’s jealous because they can play cards with their friends but he’s just got his own room - which is quite lonely. By saying that Crooks “stinks” it shows that the others on the barn are very racist to him – because the only reason they say he stinks is because of his skin colour, he doesn’t actually smell.

Candy is lonely because of his disability (lost his right arm) and the loss of his dog. “I ought to of shot that dog myself, George. I shouldn’t ought to of let no stranger shoot my dog”. He was sad when Carlson shoots his dog because his dog was his only companion and his only friend because Candy is really old and does not fit in with the rest of the young workers.

George George is lonely because Lennie is like a child so he can’t have a civilised conversation with him. “I get to tend the rabbits”. This shows that Lennie is very immature and very excited about childish things such as the rabbits. Another way he is immature and doesn’t understand much is when he always talks about “living off the fatta the lan”. He doesn’t really understand the term and all he cares about is tending the rabbits.
