... for loneliness implies precisely the lack of
and desire for an other. "Too hot" to be "at ease,
" Williams, playing the voyeur, finds this other
in the form of the sexually budding girls. In his
role as voyeur, Williams is paradoxically trapped
between his narcissistic desire to identify with
the girls and an irreconcilable need to reassert
the presence of his ego. As Freud recognized, its
active counterpart accompanies every passive
perversion. He who is a voyeur in his unconscious

In the Novel of Of Mice and Men, by John
Steinbeck, we can read the story of people and the
loneliness they experience through out the novel.
I think that Steinbecks inspiration for this book
came from his own personal experiences where he
grew up, Salinas. The book is about lonely farm
workers. They all have different reasons for being
lonely, like, their age, race, sex. The central
characters are George and Lennie. They are a
couple of poor farm workers. Lennie is a gigantic

He is the son of what today would be termed middle
class parents, yet John Steinbeck does not use
that part of society for much of his highly
acclaimed works. His treatment of the common man
makes him a uniquely American author of the
Twentieth Century. John Steinbeck's life plays a
major role in what he writes which reflects a
pessimistic view of America and his sympathy for
the poor and oppressed. The son of John and Olive
Steinbeck, John Steinbeck was born and reared in

Jealousy, Loneliness, Independence and ultimately,
Tragedy. We see the themes develop in front of us

Hemingway's Works Ernest Hemingway was a very

stories than at writing his novels. He portrays

that is centered upon the analysis of existence
and of the way man finds himself existing in the
world. He combines this with a code that Hemingway
expects his characters to adhere to. They are, a

share some of the same qualities is because they
both reflect painful experiences which occurred in
Dickens past. During his childhood, Charles
