His lack of education, as well as his attitude toward women, and his steadfast grip on old traditions does not allow him to work and thus he cannot provide a steady income for his family. Being an immigrant and stuck in his old life, he is not able to get used to the ideas of American business and life. He spends his whole life living off his children rather than trying to create a life of his own. He knows if all of his children try to leave him he will have no one to take care of him, so he desperately sabotages every attempt they make for a new independent life such as marriage or moving out.

Everyone on the ranch is lonely; George says ranch guys ‘are the loneliest in the world.’ Crooks says ‘A guy goes nuts if he ain’t got nobody. Don’t make no difference who the guy is, long as he’s with you.’ This implies that everyone in the ranch is lonely since all the bunk house men are single so they have no one to comfort them. They have no family to go to or to speak to, they have nothing to look forward to except work for the rest of their lives. George even plays solitaire which is a one player game which implies that even though he has Lennie he still feels alone since Lennie is so immature that he cannot speak to him about the real problems he has. He could feel like he’s in unequal marriage, where George has all the responsibilities.

Young boys who were usually apprentices of trade were forced to wander on street corners searching for work. College and high school graduates had no choice but to take menial jobs as a source of income. (doc 8).
He is in a place where he can’t stand seeing himself in. At this point he lives paycheck to paycheck with a dead end job. This A&P store is no place for him. He does not see himself growing and is a place in which the usual shoppers are low class citizens. So this is defiantly not the place he feels he belongs in.
Many people these days just get a regular job at some mediocre company just to get by. These people have no intention to help the environment they live in, nor the people who inhabit it. They work like this completely disregarding their surroundings and their
His sister wasn’t even born; his brother took care of his own business. I mean Holland had a tough childhood as in socially and being with his family.
