    Lennie's death and how he dies is very sad. Leading up to Lennie's death, and even before they went to the ranch, George told Lennie that if he ever does something bad he should go to the pond and George will find him. This is how George knew where Lennie had went to. The second reason how Steinbeck references Lennie's death is by writing about Carlson killing Candy's dog. Carlson stated that if you shoot them right where the spine connects to the head, they will not even feel it. This was exactly where George had shot Lennie in the head. Steinbeck also writes about how Candy said he should have shot his dog himself. This is just like how George stood up and went to find Lennie and kill him. George had taken the responsibility for Lennie's…

    Another thing the mouse can signify is the issue of Lennie’s mental state. When Lennie came across the mouse and thought it was dead he picked it up and proceeded to break its neck by petting it. This shows that Lennie is not mentally stable because any person in the right mind would have known the mouse is alive and known when they killed it. Lennie says, “Uh-uh. Jus’ a dead mouse, George. I didn’ kill it. Honest! I found it. I found it dead.” (pg. 5). This is when Lennie finds the mouse and was explaining to George that he just found it and that it was dead when he really found it. This mouse can also shoe how Lennie’s mental state is just like a young child’s mental state. Lennie doesn’t understand or remember much of what George tells him.…

    George, the Everyman, is pierced by companionship’s double-edged sword because of Lennie’s infamous actions that have led to the pair’s constant look for work and vulnerability to plights that wouldn’t affect the average man. Steinbeck illustrates the trouble Lennie has caused numerous times throughout the novel, but George’s true feelings about the situation are most accurately portrayed in the beginning of the novel. George tells Lennie, “ ‘God a’mighty, if I was alone I could live so easy… You can’t keep a job and you lose me ever’ job I get’ ” (Steinbeck 11). While George fixes up beans for dinner, he explodes and grieves about all the trouble Lennie has caused when Lennie asks for ketchup. This outburst reveals that Lennie is mentally…
