The Cause and the Loss
|
|
In the novel 'Of Mice and Men' (John Stienbeck) a
|
|
mentally challenged man, Lenny, loses his innocence when he
|
|
accidentally breaks a woman's neck. In the novel 'Flowers
|
|
for Algernon' (Daniel Keyes) another mentally challenged
|
|
man, Charlie, loses his innocence when, through the aid of
|
|
an operation, he realizes all his life people were mocking
|
|
him rather than being his friends. Although, in both cases
|
|
innocence was the loss, their innocence was also the
|
|
underlying cause of the loss.
|
|
Lenny had a soft spot for petting animals and soft
|
|
things and was totally oblivious to the fact that he was
|
|
much to big and strong for such delicate creatures, and even
|
|
some humans. "Lenny's fingers fell to stroking her hair...
|
|
he stroked harder... "Let go!" she cried... She struggled
|
|
violently... and then she was still; for Lenny had broken
|
|
her neck." (page 91). In innocence of his own strength,
|
|
Lenny had killed a woman and suddenly traded his innocence
|
|
for guilt.
|
|
Charlie grew up having a paradise-like world where he
|
|
supposedly had many friends. His lifelong ambition, to
|
|
become smart. When the chance came he took the offer
|
|
readily, unprepared for the changes in his life it would
|
|
bring. "And what was that Joe and the rest of them were
|
|
doing. Laughing at me. And the kids playing hide-and-go-seek
|
|
were playing tricks on me and they were laughing at me
|
|
too... I felt naked" (page 30). All of a sudden Charlie
|
|
realized everyone had always laughed at him, not with him,
|
|
and he suddenly ashamed/naked. In his innocence he had
|
|
requested "smartness" and with it came the loss of his
|
|
innocence followed by shame then anger.
|
|
In both cases Lenny and Charlie were tempted and in
|
|
their innocence they accepted. In both cases their innocence
|
|
was lost. Although their innocence may have appeared to
|
|
others as a struggle to both Lenny and Charlie it was a
|
|
paradise, and they knew that. Thankfully they both regained
|
|
their innocence and in doing so, they both regained their
|
|
paradise.
