How is the theme of loneliness developed in Chapter 4? Consider the characters of Lennie, Crooks, Candy and Curley's wife.

Loneliness is represented slightly differently for each character. For Lennie and George, is it represented purely by them travelling to get her, and just how unusual that it. Crooks loneliness is present when Lennie visits him in the barn. Crooks also challenges Lennie that 'what if Gorge never comes back,' taunting him with 'well, where is he now?'

For Crook, loneliness is strongly represented with the quote, "Crooks couldn't hide his pleasure with anger." This was when Lennie was in his room and Candy joined them. |

I think Crook is the lonliest of them all because while Lennie and Gaeotre and Slim haven he other men to hang around with, Crooks isn't allowed. |

For Curleys wife, her lonelyness is made because Curley doesn't see her and no one else seems to care about her because she is "trouble". |

I think Crook is the lonliest of them all because while Lennie and Gaeotre and Slim haven he other men to hang around with, Crooks isn't allowed. I agree with Cassandra, as Crook tells Lennie about how he cannot go and play cards with the other men as he is black, and they've told him that he stinks. As a result of this, Crooks thinks they all stink, and feels a fair amount of hatred toward them as they have the freedom to talk to the other men whilst he is alone. |

The theme of loneliness is developed in this chapter, giving an insight of how lonely people were in the 1930s. When Lennie shows up at Crooks door step, Crooks is skeptical of letting Lennie in, thinking he is just an average white rasicst male. Crooks soon discovers that he is not and tells Lennie why he is not wanted anyone, "'cause I'm black. They play cards in there, but I can't... They say I stink". Crooks learns how dependent Lennie is of George, by testing Lennie, telling him that "S'pose George gets killed or hurt and doesn't come back.", and understands that Lennie could be just as lonely as Crooks without George. Candy's wife complains about how she could of been in the shows, how it was her dream but instead she is stuck in a house all night and all day.

Curlys wife is really lonely and needs someone to talk to, same with Crooks as he is discriminated for his skin colour.

We can tell in chapter 4 that Candy's wife turns out to be an outsider and she just wants a friend.
