Character Analysis Of Lennie In John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

Decent Essays

Everyone loves their pets and would do what is best for them in every situation right? When I was five years old we put down my dog Shady down because she could no longer control her bladder and could not walk any longer. At the moment I did not think it was the best alternative but after looking back, it saved Shady from unnecessary pain and suffering. My story ties in with the book, Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck. In this book George kills Lennie due to the lack of control he had over Lennie’s actions, lack of a better option, and to give Lennie a calm painless death where their would be no suffering.

Some people may argue that George had other options than killing Lennie. Lennie is in this situation because he killed Curley’s wife.
