curly's wife and lennie hav in common???? HLP

The major theme of this book, is that they are both lonely. Loneliness is the theme. Curley's wife is desperate for attention and and Curley lacks her needs towards his new wife.Lennie ...well we all know what character he is... a shy, lonely kinda guy. Lennie is tired of being considered mentally retarded even though in reality he really is, but that doesn't face the fact that everyday he has to meet George's standards and expectations in order to tend the rabbits. he wants friends who will fully understand for who he is both physically and mentally and also not percieve him as a 'retard'.

I agree with Caroline.
