The Question and Answer section for Of Mice and Men is a great resource to ask questions, find answers, and discuss the novel.
It's the whole theme of the book! Everyone else is lonely, but their together. None of their plans matter if their alone! It's really obvious actually. If George lost Lennie (which he does, but whatever) he'd be all alone, and dead,...
Everytime the subject of the farm and the rabbits comes up George reminds Lennie not to tell anyone. Well, Lennie told Candy, and after George told Candy not to tell anyone...... he responded like Lennie did in the earlier scene.
George scowled....
Crooks tells Candy to forget about what he said about joining the farm. Curley's wife humiliated him enough to understand that any dreams a black man like him might have, won't come true.
