Lennie thrives off of George’s way of speaking about their dream and also the way he talks about him and Lennie’s unique and strong relationship “Guys like us that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world. They got no family. They don't belong no place....With us it ain't like that. We got a future. We got somebody to talk to that gives a damn about us.” Lennie’s finds comfort
Curley made life really unpleasent for his wife on the ranch. He never had a proper conversation with her throughout the book and never cared how she felt. Curley kept “his hand soft for his wife” and went around showing off to other men about it. Curley is always resentful and angry towards everyone on the ranch, he has a problem with big men even though he is described as small in the book. Everyone on the ranch called Curleys Wife a ''tart'' because she flirts and the ranch men said ''Shes got the eyes''.
I walk alone.” As sung in this Green Day classic, the men on the farm have known only solitude and hardship due to their inability to escape Naturalism’s clutches. George and Lennie thwart this cycle, however, by having one to look out for the other. George put it this way to Lennie. "Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world. They got no family.
Though the pet was once a great sheepherder, it was put out to pasture once it stopped being productive. Candy realizes that his fate is to be put on the roadside as soon as he’s no longer useful; on the ranch, he won’t be treated any differently than his dog. Worse than the dog parallel, though, is that Candy (unlike his dog) is emotionally broken by this whole affair. He can’t bring himself to shoot his pet himself, and we suspect this is going to be the same fear and reticence that keep him from making anything more of his life. Candy can’t stand up for his pet because Candy can’t stand up for himself.
However, there are some old people who are still fit and capable of working. It is a sad thought as Candy is waiting to be put out of his misery, as he is old he believes there is nothing to look forward to, before the dream farm. Due to his damaged he is unable to do a lot of the jobs that the other ranch hands do making him instantly an outsider. Also because he thinks that he is old he puts himself in a state of mind which handicaps him far more than his missing hand ever will. His life echoes that of his dog, he was once "the best damn sheep-dog I ever seen" but now is next to useless, Candy's life has gone somewhat the same way.

Crooks is dismissive and cynical of the other ranchers’ dreams: “Nobody gets to heaven and nobody gets no land” He believes that all the ranchers’ dreams are unattainable. Yet even Crooks seems to nurture a dream of companionship, though tragically his dream exists in his memories of childhood “Had two brothers. They was always near me. Always
You know he’s going to come back. S’pose you didn’t have nobody... a guy needs somebody.” We hear the sadness in Crooks’ tone and we know that he doesn’t have anybody. Crooks is a great example of what it is like if a person does not have anybody and they are lonely. This issue in the book is still relevant in today’s society as there is this fear about being alone and having no one. This novel shows the importance of relationships and how the people in the novel think about it.
George putting him on a good note was probably the best idea for Lennie because if not Curley could of tortured him. The novel demonstrates the great depression in America and what could happen with a disability like that, No its not Lennie’s fault that he has such a disability and can’t help it, but for the reason he should have been well looked after. Now because of that he has been resulted as dead because of the torture that could have
