 is an emotional state in which a person
experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and
isolation. Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting
company or wanting to do something with another
person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off,
disconnected and alienated from other people. The
lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to
have any form of meaningful human contact. Lonely
people often experience a subjective sense of inner
emptiness or hollowness, with feelings of separation or
isolation from the world.

2 George has always been alone even though he
has Lennie always following him.
2 George had taken care of Lennie and had done
his thinking and talking for him. He never had
time for himself, but throughout the story he
still stuck with Lennie because he knew he
would never survive on his own.
2 All of the trouble Lennie caused, George was
there to bail him out.
 "%

2 n the end of the story George had a great decision to
make.
2 This internal conflict ripped George up inside, debating
the "right" thing to do:
2 Let Curly kill Lennie, his closest friend,
2 Make Lennie run away to suffer more hardships on his
own,
2 Or« Kill Lennie himself.
2 Either way George knew there dreams would never
come true!

2 George decides to kill Lennie himself to save Lennie
from a society that would never except him for who he
his.
2 He found Lennie and sat beside him, calming his
nerves. When Lennie was persuaded everything was
going to be all right he was at ease. That was when
George pulled out a gun, aimed it at the back of
Lennie's head and pulled the trigger. This decision was
the hardest thing that George had to do in his life.
2 George·s decision ended up causing him to
become one of the people he told Lennie that
they weren·t.
2 George ended up losing his best friend and his
chances to live his dreams.
2 t is unknown what happens after this event as
the story ends with a flashback of Lennie and
George together.

2 George has moved on by the end of the story.
2 His many memories of a perfect life he is leaving
behind. The law enforcement officers would
probably be looking for him now.
2 Without Lennie, George can probably find a job
and keep it. He might even try and start a family
for himself. George will perhaps never forget
about the times he had with Lennie and the
others on the farm, or their dreams.

2 Candy, now without any real friends, is most
likely still on the farm. His bargain with George
and Lennie is now pointless as they both have
moved on.
2 Curley and the lynching mob have found
Lennie·s body down b the river. Curley, still
mad at Lennie might shot at his body in attempt
to feel better about his wife·s death.

After the gruesome killing of Curley·s
wife (age 25), by breaking her neck.
The suspect, Lennie Small (age 21) fled
to the woods. According to accounts of
workers on the farm Lennie was the
only person whose whereabouts cannot
be accounted for. The Soledad police

unclear. The only clue is the murder
weapon a Luger pistol
Curly found out Lennie had been
killed he said ´that murdering b*t*h

From anonymous sources, the Police have
found a suspect linked to the killing.
George Milton, an old worker at the
farm, strangely disappeared at the same
time as the killing. t is known that he
is actually the cousin of the killer,
Lennie Small. t is possible that he was
the one who shot Lennie. His motives
are unknown at this point. The suspect
has not been seen since the event and
is believed to have skipped town. f he
is found he may face charges, but they
could be rejected for killing the
murderer.
  
2 To once again state, the story ´Of Mice and
Menµ is accurate description of loneliness. Not
one person in the end is left in peace with
anything good to look forward to.
2 This story took place in the Great Depression
and has been expressed through the workers
making little money and having no ´realµ home.
Always traveling alone, and some to die alone.
