To What Extent Is George To Blame For The Death In Of Mice And Men

George and Lennie were best friends for a long time, more like brothers. Lennie is about as bright as a 2 watt bulb, so George couldn’t really get mad at him when he accidently killed Curley’s wife while feeling the softness of her hair. “…’I ain’t mad. I never been mad, an’ I ain’t now. That’s a thing I want ya to know’”. The two had planned a future together—a future in their own dream ranch, a ranch where no trouble would ever bother them. “’You…an’ me. Ever’body gonna be nice to you. Ain’t gonna be no more trouble. Nobody gonna hurt nobody nor steal from ‘em’”. Then after he tells him about the rabbits that Lennie is so fond of, he shoots him in the back of the head where he knows it will not hurt him, and Lennie will not know what hit him. This is the peaceful alternative to what Curley had in store for him. Curley's exact words were "shoot the bastard right in the guts." George's euthanizing of Lennie makes the mentally incompetent Lennie die with dignity. Had Curley gotten to Lennie first, Lennie would have suffered. This shows you how much George cares for Lennie, no matter what he does or the crimes he commits. He’d always be there to help Lennie get right back up to his feet, make him forget all his worries, and move on like nothing happened. I strongly believe George was the right person to kill Lennie, and made the right decision in doing so, rather than to let him suffer in the hands of Curley.

After Lennie has inadvertently murdered Curley’s wife, Curley’s lynch mob go out in search of Lennie. George’s decision is almost inevitable to spare Lennie’s life, rather than let Curley and his gang destroy the bit of life Lennie has.

George made the right decision by killing Lennie as Lennie could not escape or run anywhere after Curley found out that Lennie killed his wife. Curley wanted to kill Lennie after he saw that his wife died. “ I’m gonna get him. I’m going for my shotgun. I’ll kill the big son-of-a-bitch myself. I’ll shoot ‘i'm in the guts.” Killing Lennie painlessly was better than Lenny dying slowly and painfully. George killed Lennie because he would not be able to watch Lennie get killed by Curley.

One reason why Curley’s wife should be blamed for her death is when she came into the bunkhouse where George and Lennie was in, and ask where her husband Curley was. Curley’s wife was dressed like a tart that Lennie couldn’t stop looking at her. Lennie friend George looked away from her and told that Curley was in the bunkhouse a minute ago then left. When Curley’s wife, left George looked at Lennie, who was drooling for her. George got really mad at Lennie and told him “Well, you keep away from her, ‘cause she’s a rat-trap if I ever seen one. You let Curley take the rap.” (32). Therefore, there’s one reason why Curley’s wife got killed by Lennie.

At the end of the book Of Mice and Men Lennie accidentally broke Curley's wife's neck. Afterwards George had to come up with a decision to let Lennie die happily or let Curly torture him. George made the right decision on killing Lennie because of the things that could happen to Lennie and George. First, If Lennie was not killed by George than he would have to go threw with terrible torture with Curly. Second, George would be a lot better off without Lennie always getting them fired and getting in trouble. Finally george let him die happily. Some people think that george made the wrong decision because Lennie did not mean to kill Curley’s wife but they are wrong because Lennie could have done more terrible things and he would not be able to help it.

The first reason that George made the right decision to shoot Lennie is because Lennie would’ve been a danger to everyone else around him. If Lennie killed Curley’s wife, he could be capable

Is killing someone right or wrong? In the novella Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck readers are conflicted with this question all around the world. George killed Lennie after Lennie accidentally killed Curley’s wife.George and Lennie had known eachother for a long time they even traveled together. George helped Lennie out of multiple situations and killing him was the best way he could think of in the instance of Lennie killing Curley’s wife.Even though Lennie and George were friends, George was justified in killing Lennie because Lennie was undisciplined and unsafe.

Humans are responsible for their own actions, and the characters Of Mice and Men are no exception. In Steinbeck's novel, Curley’s wife’s actions result in her tragic death. She faces this situation when she denies the warnings she is given in the first place. Therefore, Lennie, or anyone else for that matter, can not be responsible for her death. Curley’s wife is the only one to blame because she is warned to stay away in the first place, has knowledge of Lennie’s strength, and still allows Lennie to pet her hair even after seeing the result of him petting the puppy.

I seen ’em poison before,but I never seen any piece of jail bait worse than her. You leave her be”(32). George figures that Curley’s wife is looking for trouble when it comes to all the workers. This goes to show that Lennie would keep making and causing trouble, even if it wasn’t intentional. In the novella, Steinbeck shows the reader that Lennie is mentally challenged which gives Lennie his unique personality and traits, because of Lennie's mental illness it's hard to teach or demonstrate proper behavior or certain things a person should know.

Lennie was the one to blame for everything because he would not listen to anybody, but George. Lennie was told not to talk to Curley's wife, but he talked to her. Second, Lennie was told not to say a word to Curley. When he tried to talk to Lennie, Curley pushed it and George pushed Lennie into hitting and Lennie listened to George, hurting Curley in the process. Lennie was told not to go into Crook's room, but Lennie stayed anyway.

“You wouldn’ tell? No, course you wouldn’” He starts confiding in other people like Slim and Candy. He starts to have the social life that he once longed for - He would leave Lennie and go with “all the boys…into town” He started to be more independent from Lennie at these points. All this came to and end though when Lennie killed Curley’s wife, because he then needed to move on. Although, it came to where some of the other men were friendly and would go so far as to console George after he shot Lennie.

In Of Mice and Men, George was right to kill Lennie. In the novel, Lennie killed a mouse, a puppy, and a woman. Lennie could have been charged with rape on two separate occasions. In Weed, Lennie grabbed a woman and ripped a part of her clothes off. At the farm, in the barn, Lennie stroked her hair and accidentally killed her. George killed Lennie, because Candy told George he wished he would have shot his own dog, Lennie killed Curley’s wife, the puppie, and the mouse, and the lynch mob would have done worse things to Lennie.

In the beginning of the book George wanted to be alone; he knew that he could be but Lennie would be all alone and would most likely die. Steinbeck stated “God a’mighty if I was alone I could go live so easy” this shows that he really cares about Lennie and even though he is a pain, he still wants Lennie to be okay. As the book progresses, George starts to change his mind about being alone; he starts playing games with the other men. Instead of playing solitaire, he started playing horseshoes. In the last sentence of chapter 6 right after he shoots Lennie, George seemed to realize that he didn’t want to be alone after all, Lennie was his only real friend and now he gets to be lonely but it’s not at all how he imagined it.

Curley’s Wife’s mom, Lennie Smalls, and Curley’s wife are the most responsible people for the death of Curley’s wife. Out of the three Curley’s wife is the most guilty, but since she is the one who died she cannot be accused in a court, the next most guilty would have been Lennie but since he also died he couldn’t be accused in a court and because Curley’s Wife’s Mom didn’t directly kill Curley’s Wife she couldn’t be accused. Ultimately no one would be punished since the guiltiest people are

Due to child like qualities, Lennie is a person which would be easy prey and a vulnerable person. Lennie is a vulnerable person who is quite dumb. His has an obsession for touching soft thing and this will often lead him in to trouble. But
