ABSTRACT:
A 3 page research paper + annotated bibliography that address the theme of loneliness in this work. John Steinbeck is known for his novels portraying the suffering and injustice that was rampant during the time of the Great Depression in the 1930s (Vibig 32). His novel Of Mice and Men addresses the economic hardship of the era, but the focus in this work is on the emotional ramifications of the Depression in people's lives. Steinbeck wrote three novellas, which includes Of Mice and Men, that were intended as experiments in drama (Hays 92). This experiment consisted of creating narratives that consist almost entirely of description, dialogue and action, with no extensive history of a setting or interior monologue (Hays 92). Within this context, the theme of loneliness serves to tie the novel together as a whole as this is the common experience of men who must travel from place to place. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
