A worth it sin Love makes you a total fool… you would do anything for the others person… even kill.
George and Lennie were inseparable, and not for the reasons, Lennie needs it to be watched, they care for each other was deep, like they both used to say ”But not us! An’ why? Because… I got you look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that’s why” (Steinbeck, 14). I never thought two people so different could be this near from each other. This sentence made a clear image of the bond between two friends. But as at the beginning, I say, love, make us the biggest sinner.
In the first place, killing Lennie is an example of the deep cares George had for Lennie. People would immediately be against with this thesis, but let me explain

As well as, at the time, when Curley men left the ranch, he had the opportunity to stay there, instead George went to the place (the one he orders Lennie to go if he does any disaster), to rescue him, so both could escape together... Yeah, right, in this case, George didn’t fulfill his promise, they will escape together, aha right, that would say, Lennie in heaven, touching the soft clouds, but in this life only one escape, but the two respects the other the same way. George is a man uncontrolled by the others, he let his heart and his head to take away Lennie. Further in, George gave every single part of his heart to Lennie, George gave his friend everything, even his sin, but if I had the opportunity I’ll give George another chance, a new excuse, so he still is as innocent as …show more content…
This makes us realize, George, being a person who seems like he doesn’t have enough patience and tolerance, looks like he would easy murder Lennie years before, but he did have this special bond, apprehension. To illustrate, if you have the opportunity to slip out from your duty, the biggest duty, many people would do it, but George didn’t, Why? He did care and love his innocent friend, with his heart.
In summary, killing Lennie is an example of the deep care George had for Lennie. Even with their differences and disagreements, each of them had this enormous respect and affection for each other. However, one of the main oppositions my thesis has is “George didn’t love Lennie”, so my question here is, if he didn’t love him or care enough, why did he rescue
However this is not right, the way Lennie die should be considered murder. Sure he did do some bad things at some times but he was clueless about everything he was doing. George should be brought to justice for Lennie's death.
Partners in Crime “Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity.” Throughout this book Lennie and his partner in crime George encounter many problems and contradictions that shakes things up a notch. After reading John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, George is justified in killing Lennie because; Lennie is a liability and he is already suffering mentally enough. George is justified in killing Lennie because he is already being punished enough mentally. One quote that explains Lennie’s confusion and mental illness is, “they was so little," he said apologetically.
Despite the obstacles the two face together, they continue to push on until Lennie does a terrible thing and George is forced to do something just as worse. I believe George was justified to kill Lennie because it prevented torture for the both of them in the long run and Lennie would never learn to understand when enough is enough and how to cope with the bad in life. If George was found with Lennie, he would also be faced with the repercussions of being affiliated with him.
George killing Lennie was justified. In Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, it tells a story of two migrant workers, George and Lennie. As the story progresses, it gives Lennie the characteristics of a big strong man who has the mental capacity of a child, and George being a small sharp attitude man. Though in the end, George has to kill Lennie for before the other migrant workers on the ranch come after him in a more harsh/brutal way. The men are after Lennie for killing the ranch owner’s son’s wife.
Therefore, the murder of Lennie was neither one out of compassion nor friendship, but out of George’s wish to remain on the farm. Throughout the novel, George aggressively hints at the “dream life” he could have obtained if not for Lenny’s interference. At the very beginning of the plot, George, frustrated with Lennie, conveys that he “could get along
In this quote George talk’s about all the things he could do if he was alone, he could just abandon Lennie if he wishes too, but he chooses to stay, because he has sympathy for Lennie. George cares about everyone, he makes them feel good, George is the only one who is thoughtful, compared to everyone else, the other’s mostly care about
By the end George had to make a hard decision to make about Lennie’s life after he accidently took Curley’s wife’s life. These two men have their own relationship, “Because I got you to look after me, and you got me to look after you, and that is why” no other character has a deep understanding friendship.
They did tryed but at the very end George accepted his fate as it is. Both George and Lennie tried as hard as they could to live a good and honorable life dealing with whatever the context around of them was, they help each other in their own way. George looked after
This shows that George thought Lennie should die. George has said throughout the book that his life would be so much easier if Lennie was not in it. George found out a way to finally get rid of
Throughout the novel, George and Lennie’s relationship is justified in various ways. What they offer to each other is also described throughout the novel. George provides Lennie with a sense of protection and the constant reassuring that everything is going to be okay. (Quote).
There is no reason why George would kill Lennie other than for a mercy killing. Lennie had no money
In the novella, Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, George’s decision to kill Lennie at the end of the novel was justified. George and Lennie were best friends, and have been since they were little. They got ran out of Weed(the old farm they used to work at) for harassing a girl and not letting her go. He was just scared from her screaming and kicking. He didn’t mean to harm, or scare her.
The main reason George killed Lennie is because Lennie would have killed somebody again. And the evidence is clearly there, the pet mice that he killed, the poor puppy that he accidently hit to hard, and especially Curley’s wife. He almost killed the girl in weed if he had gone any further. The sad thing is is that he doesn't know how strong he really is, nor does he know what he’s done wrong in the first place.
George wants what is best for Lennie, as he made a promise to Lennie’s aunt that he would always take care of him. He did not want Lennie to go as a result of being shot by these other farmhands. George finds him first, and lets him go peacefully, killing him instantly while they were talking about happy memories they had together. *George’s actions and character establish equilibrium in the relationship between him and Lennie. He vowed to take in and watch over Lennie once his Aunt Clara died.
George’s decision to kill Lennie was ultimately for his benefit. “The hand shook violently, but his (George) face set and his hand steadied. He pulled the trigger” (Steinbeck 106). The quote which states how Lennie dies also shows that George was nervous and hesitant in killing Lennie. Scarseth explains in the article, “Friendship.
