Everybody needs a friend, but unfortunately, not everyone has a friend. For example, in the book and movie Of Mice and Men, loneliness is a major theme because every character wants a friend, but some of the characters only have themselves. Each character expresses their loneliness differently, and the characters’ expressions of their loneliness differ in the movie and the book. Dialogue and visible actions help show the characters’ loneliness in the movie, while the book shows the characters’ loneliness further in depth than the movie through dialogue, actions, and narrative description.
