In my opinion George shouldn't have killed Lennie, here are are my supporting arguments, he will become a wanted criminal, he may never have a stable future and george will go to prison. Firstly, George shouldnt have killed beause in the previouse chapters lennies left his job because he was accused of rape so i can assume the laws are similar to the current laws in america so the police will be after George,the police would eventually put a bounty on him, posters of him will be put up to beware of him,he will be broadcasted on televison. George will be eventually caught either through posters,bountyor broadcast.

George was not justified in killing Lennie because George could have had left at anytime. The author is showing how important friendship is between two very different characters.
The decision of killing should not be looked upon as criminal. George does not have a cruel heart nor does he take pleasure in killing Lennie. George wants what is best for Lennie and he takes the time to set up a nice, peaceful conversation on a topic of interest to Lennie. He instructs Lennie to ?look down there acrost the river, like you can almost see the place? (106). He reassures Lennie that everyone will treat him pleasingly.

By killing Lennie in John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice And Men, George protected himself, prevented unnecessary harm from coming to Lennie, and ultimately, he let Lennie die happy.
It has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt at this point, Lennie's innocence is not very accepted with the world because of his size, age, etc. He can’t really learn to change his ways due to his disabilities. Lennie can’t even understand why the bad things he has done are bad. Also, the fate he would meet at Curley's mutilated hands is enough to convince George that his only real option is to make Lennie's death as quick and painless as possible. Lennie would have died at the hands of Curly anyways, which would have been a much more painful and dehumanizing death for Lennie. He couldn't be taken to a mental hospital and in the depression, these were basically non-existent and spending a life in jail would be even more torture for a mentally ill person than death itself. George did what was right because he prevented Lennie from doing anything this terrible again, he stopped Lennie from a more painful death, and he really didn't have any other responsible
