Why George should not have killed Lennie in the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck

George and Lennie had gone through so much together, in chapter 3 it shows ‘“When his Aunt Clara died, Lennie just come along with me working.”’ George said. (Steinbeck 40). They stuck together for a long time and became very close. When George talked about the time he told Lennie to jump off a bridge into water and Lennie actually did it, you can see how the two of them were close.

Would you be willing to kill your best friend, your brother or sister, your person? George a farmer, had a hard decision to make whether or not he should kill his brother, his best friend. Did George make the right choice? George and Lennie were brothers who were always on the move farming since they left weed. George was considered a small and weak man who guarded and protected Lennie at all costs. Lennie was considered the opposite of George, he was a tall, strong man, and was loyal to George, but Lennie had the mind of a child. Although others believe George did not make the right choice in killing Lennie, George’s decision was best because due to the fact that Lennie would have had lived a harsh life in prison, he would have deteriorated

George's justification for shooting Lennie is to keep him from experiencing the pain that will follow the consequences of his actions. Lennie will be lynched, probably beaten and then killed when he is caught. George also knows that even if they were to escape, it would be just a matter of time before Lennie had another "accident" and killed someone else. He knows he can't protect him from society, as he also can't protect society from Lennie. From George's perspective, killing Lennie before he is caught is the only kind thing to do. It is a quick end--he even protects Lennie from seeing it coming. From George's perspective, it is an act of love. As to whether it is justifiable or not, that is difficult to say. From one perspective, killing

Of Mice and Men When someone gets treated poorly and they respond back in a negative or positive way and someone gets hurts. Is it their fault or the person that treated them poorly fault? Who would you punish? This occurs in the book Of Mice and Men when Lennie kills Curley’s wife.

Following the reading of John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, the impression made to many readers was that the character George did not have many choices regarding the fate of his friend, Lennie. George’s choice, made in hesitation, was to take Lennie’s fate into his own hands, and killed Lennie. In a situation where a trial would be conducted against George for his murder of Lennie, George’s decision would be found justified. George is not guilty because he had carried out justice against Lennie’s crimes, would be found justified. George is not guilty because by killing Lennie, he provided Lennie an escape from his own suffering, he avenged the victims that were lost by Lennie, and he carried out merciful justice for Lennie where there wouldn’t have been any at the hands of Curley or law enforcement.

In the novel Of Mice and Men By John Stebck, George makes the impossible decision to kill his best friend, Lennie, in a way that would cause him no pain and allow him to continue to be oblivious to the world around him. The decision that George made could be seen as unavoidable, and his only option. But there were many choices that George made that would lead up to Lennie's death that could have been prevented based upon the choices made. Although Lenny's death could have been avoided, it is important to note that his death is essential to the theme and purpose of the novel. Previously in the novel Lennie ended up in a similar situation that could have resulted in his death.

At the end of Of Mice and Men, George has to make the grim decision to shoot Lennie in the back of the head before the other men kill him because Lennie accidently killed the bosses son, Curley’s, wife. “George said softly, ‘I think I knowed from the very first. I think I knowed we’d never do her. He usta like to hear about it so much I got to thinking maybe we would. “(Steinbeck 94). This shows that George has always hoped that he and Lennie would have a farm and live their life together, but when he sees that cannot happen, he becomes very depressed. This makes him learn the self-knowledge that without Lennie, he is the man that he has always said he was not. With this thought, he knows he has surrendered his dreams, and they cannot be sustained without Lennie. This reveals he has found the impossibility of living the American dream despite hard work and that dreams are no place in a harsh, unloving world. As well, in the end, Slim is the only man that can see that George has gone through the terrible loss of his best friend. This event shows George the real need for friendship in the world, which he needed to distinguish himself from other

Even from the very start of John Steinbeck's novel, Of Mice and Men, the uniqueness of George, as a character, is already noticeable. He is described as "small and quick, dark of face, with restless eyes and sharp strong features" and has an obvious dominance over the relationship between Lennie and himself. This lets the reader know from a very early stage in the book that George is different, and probably the essential character. George's character seems to be used by Steinbeck to reflect the major themes of the novel: loneliness, prejudice, the importance of companionship, the danger of devoted companionships, and the harshness of Californian ranch life.

We live in a world of dreams and desire to achieve, but sometimes we end up without achieving them. Therefore, Steinbeck brought this clearly as we see Lennie died without actually achieving his dreams. Also friendship has been expressed as the main theme in the novel. Despite the difficult moments they went through, George and Lennie’s friendship is all against the challenges. The two shared well dreams and loved one another so much. This is a great virtue even in modern

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.

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.

George, a character in Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck was “small and quick, dark of face, with restless eyes and sharp, strong features. Every part of him was defined: small, strong hands, slender arms, a thin and bony nose.” (Steinbeck, Pg.2) George was Caucasian and it looked as if he had stepped out of an old movie containing drifters, better known as migrant workers. Although physically George was very small, he had complete control over his companion Lennie, the way a father controls a son.

Each person has a lot of different things about them. There's some characteristics of yourself that don’t really get noticed. So being described by someone can be either bad or good. Sometimes it’s a nail biter, to see in another's perspective of yourself. In the book Of Mice and Men John Steinbeck gives the impression that George is brutal, careful, and even smart man.
