The agreement is yes George should have killed Lennie in Of Mice and Men, the reasons are that Curley would have killed him anyway and that they didn’t have enough money for a trail. George should not have killed Lennie because Curley would have killed him anyway. You know this because of this quote “ I’m gonna get him. I’m going for my shotgun. I’ll kill that big son-of-a-bitch myself.
George should have killed Lennie because Lennie could have been sent to a prison, to a mental institution, if George wouldn’t have gotten there before Curley and Lennie would have been tortured by Curley and suffered a very long painful death, another reason that George should have killed Lennie
The selfless, painful decision george made was unfortunately the right one. This is displayed through many pieces of evidence (majority of which is just action made out of temptation) found in John Steinbeck's novel, Of Mice and Men. This story takes place on a secluded ranch in Soledad California in the midst of the Great Depression, where many people were forced to live isolated lives while chasing low paying jobs throughout the country. One reason that George made the right decision by ending Lennie’s life is, if he had not done so, Curley or one of the other men would have shot him, leaving him to die a slow and painful death. In addition, George allowed Lennie to die happily.
Lennie and George’s dynamic is incredibly complex, however Steinbeck's figurative language shows an owner and pet like relationship. Therefore, Lennie depends on George for everything, and he couldn’t survive without him. Lennie
From the day that Lennie’s Aunt Clara died and from the day George took Lennie in as a friend George was always there for him. If Lennie did not have George, Lennie would have no one to protect him and save him from all of the bad things that he has done. Despite all of the dangers and problems Lennie got George and himself into, George benefited and also learned from Lennie’s mistakes. George needs his ignorant sidekick as much as Lennie needs George.
Come on, you guys. This is an even stronger reason why George did the right thing by killing Lennie. Lennie was a kind hearted fellow but he always ended up hurting somebody or killing something, and that’s why George had to do what he did. In the book Lennie killed many mice, a dog, and even a girl at the end, it may have been and accident but it was the fact that he is dangerous.
According to the text “All the time he coulda had such a good time if it wasn’t for you. he woulda took his pay and raised hell in the whore house, and he coulda set in a pool room an’ played snooker, but he gotta take care of you” (Page#101, Steinbeck). This basically proves and enforces the reality that Lennie influences almost every part of Georges life. This also shows that George could have had a good life, even a better life if his dream of being able to take care of Lennie did not become a burden upon himself and influenced his life so greatly. Everything that George did or tried to do was always influenced by Lennie’s wellbeing.
George was his best friend and Lennie needed him. In Of Mice and Men, George should not have killed Lennie. George knew that Lennie needed him and that he should not have killed him. Lennie was dependent on George because he had always been around him.
In the book Mice and Men George was faced with a tough decision of killing his best friends or letting him suffer, he ended up killing him. I believe George's decision to kill Lennie himself was justified. It think it was justified because if George didn't kill Lennie himself then Lennie would have had to endure some form of torture. Candy was talked into having someone shoot his dog. Candy raised his dog up since he was a pup and they've been like best friends.
While petting Curley’s wife's hair he accidently killed her. George shot lennie so it would be less painful. George should not have killed lennie because they had plans for the future, and Lennie did not know any better as to what he was doing. One reason George should not have shot Lennie is George and Lennie had plans for the future.
George was a good worker, but Lennie was an amazing worker with a tenacious work ethic and stamina. Lennie had incredible strength, but sometimes he did not understand just how massive he was. Many times throughout the book Lennie is caught hurting people or killing animals on accident. The biggest reason Lennie should not have been killed was because he was a major asset in the working force. That means he could have helped continue to bring in money towards the farm they dreamed about operating someday.
In Soledad California, during the 1920’s we find George and Lennie, the two main characters. Two friends that have a very unique relationship. George is a short man with sharp features and quick wits, where as Lennie is a big man with a round face and is a just like a large child. They are lowly workers that bounce from ranch to ranch looking for work, in search of their unique american dream. In Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, George becomes more understanding and friendly towards Lennie through the beginning, middle and ending of the novella.
George chose for him because he wasn’t mentally capable of choosing for himself. He also didn’t want to see him die in such a horrible, cruel, suffering
You do bad things and I got to get you out (Steinbeck 11). George is upset towards Lennie because he's always caring for himself, plus one. It isn’t fair to George to have burdens like this dragged along with him wherever he goes. Lennie always has to depend on George for daily
so George and Lennie had met since George was getting to know Lennie's, Aunt Clara She was a woman that would take most of her time to take care of Lennie since he was not well in the head, he would act like a child even though he was already a grown man. She had died so George decides to become his guardian since he could be by himself since he would always act like a child. There were a lot of benefits that they had for traveling together they won't be lonely and would have some company and he would have someone to talk to. Let's just say that he had decided to not be his guardian George would be so lonely he wouldn't have anyone to talk to when he is traveling.
