“I was only foolin’, George. I don’t want no ketchup. I wouldn’t eat no ketchup if it was right here beside me.” “If it was here, you could have some,” says George. “But I wouldn’t eat none, George.” “I’d leave it all for you.” “You could cover your beans with it and I wouldn’t touch none of it” (Lennie). In Of Mice and Men, Lennie always puts George before himself, as does George puts Lennie before himself. To emphasize the feeling of loneliness in this quote, it shows kindness, empathy, friendship. They are so afraid of being alone and feeling alone, that they both will do whatever it takes to erase the feeling. Lennie unified this theme and is a perfect example of what loneliness feels
