Who Is Responsible For Lennie's Death

A Lennie of unfortunate event… George did right in killing Lennie because he always got in trouble, was a threat who messed everything up, and he had no real use with a chase on his tail. An intriguing topic for Lennie’s poor death was that he always got in trouble and did “bad things” but he did not know what he had done. When George was playing some cards with Slim a bit after he had arrived at Soledad, he accidentally let out a wisp of a secret that no one was supposed to know so that he would get fired. He had told the boss something completely different because he had said that the job at Weed was over, but that was a lye. “Well he seen this girl in a red dress. Dumb bastard like he is, he wants to touch ever’thing he likes. Just wants
The past problem lead to him killing a puppy when he was in the barn, before he killed Curley’s wife. “And Lennie said to the puppy, “Why do you got to get killed? You ain’t so little as mice. I didn’t bounce you hard.”’ (Steinbeck 85). Lennie has just said that he killed mice, when looked at the citation at an angle. Lennie is a big tough guy, with big meaty hands to match, showing us that for him, it is easy to kill such a small animal. The puppies were just 3 weeks old. Right here is when Curley’s wife had informed Lennie to touch her hair, and in the previous quotes tell us when she wanted Lennie to let go of her hair, but Lennie just grabbed hold like a
When the boys come back (George, Curley, Slim, and the others), George is the first one to enter the barn. Shortly after, enters Slim and sees the same thing.

So he leaves, and before long, Curley sees his wife dead and knows the only man who was big enough to do this. “‘I’m going for my shotgun. I’ll kill the big son-of-a-bitch myself. I’ll shoot ‘im in the guts. Come on, you guys”’ (Steinbeck, 96). He wants to go track down Lennie, because he wants revenge on what Lennie did to his hand, and now his dead wife. George was the one who showed the way to go find Lennie, witch for him, was a hard thing to do. Even Though Curley had thought that Lennie took a gun, this whole time George was the one who took it, to make the decision of his life. “‘Yeah. that's how.” George's voice was almost a whisper. He looked steadily at his right hand that had held the gun” (Steinbeck 107). George has now killed Lennie, but he did him a favor because, with Curley as the K9, it could've been much worse. Hence, George did him a big favor, and it was the correct decision in killing poor Lennie for being able to save him from the pages not
