Crooks is a black man on a ranch full of white people during an era of accepted racial discrimination. Crooks isn't allowed to stay in the bunkhouse with the other men. He is forced to live in a hovel beside the horse stable. Crooks feels objectified and discriminated against simply because he is black. His loneliness is born out of generations of racial prejudice that plague American society.
