Victims which just wanted someone to have Or To what extent are themes of isolation and victimization explored in the novels TKAM and OMAM

Imagine yourself experiencing the Great Depression. You might be able to see unemployed people around, homeless men and hopeless women sitting next to you, but is the lack of money the real problem of the Great Depression? In both novels the themes of the isolation and victimization are overlapped and collided throughout whole novels, showing the psychological effects of The Great Depression. As you were really there, in To Kill A Mockingbird (TKAM) Nelle Harper Lee shows her point of view through a variety of characters and social environment surrounding them, she describes people’s isolation as an effect of gossips, lack of education and discrimination in any kind. All aspects soon lead characters to the state of being victims of the non-understanding community and their own lack of self-confidence. In Of Mice And Men (OMAM) John Steinbeck gives readers a picture of the mixture of feelings inside people who made themselves to be scary or were ignored by others. He creates a microcosm of society showing the range of the behaviour resulting the excluding and isolation from the society. Men on the ranch were stucked with their expectation from others which made some characters to be excluded from the ranch community and life. Both novels are showing the effect of human behaviour under invisible excluding pressure from surrounding people.
