    TS: In Steinbecks novel, Of Mice

    and Men, he emphasizes the theme


    that loneliness is often provoked by
    the lonely individual through the
    black stable buck Crooks.

    CD: Furthermore, Steinbeck asserts, It was


    difficult for Crooks to conceal his pleasure
    with anger when Lennie and Candy come
    to talk to Crooks in the stable (75).

    CD: For example, Steinbeck writes, He kept


    his distance and demanded that other people
    keep theirsI aint wanted in the
    bunkhouse, and you aint wanted in my
    room (67-68).

    CM: In other words,


    Crooks chooses to
    remain in isolation.

    CM: Though other


    outcasts like Lennie
    and Candy attempt to
    spend time with
    Crooks, he guards
    himself to avoid the
    possibility of being let
    down by others.

    CM: Crooks has been


    perpetually lonely
    throughout the years
    because of racial
    segregation for being
    African American and
    chooses to distance
    himself from any future
    relationships.

    CS: Like so many others, Crooks fears


    hinder him from establishing
    relationships that would help him
    conquer loneliness.

    CM: Therefore, he
    masks any positive
    emotions with
    negative responses to
    make it seem like he
    does not care and
    dislikes all others.
