Does George Do The Right Thing By Killing Lennie

Lennie needed to be punished, but at the same time it needed to fit the crime; no torture or humiliation that he would not understand that George with Lennie , I believe George should of killed

Lennie would never be able to survive without George, Lennie would be miserable alone and scared.Lennie would have been tortured by Curley if George had not killed Lennie.Before George killed Lennie says "I remember the rabbits,George”.George and Lennie would not been able to get away since last time they had a head start . Lennie would suffer regardless with George even if he came to see him in prison.Lennie has no way out in this so George did the right thing by putting Lennie out of his misery by killing him.Curley would not just kill Lennie he would have made him suffer by torturing him because Lennie had humiliated Curly twice.

Lennie was doing it on accident because Lennie stated in the book that Lennie wanted her to stop screaming by saying “Oh! Please don’t do none of that? George gonna say that I done a bad thing I won’t get to tend the rabbits”(Steinbeck 91). This shows that Lennie did not want to cause any harm to Curley's wife Lennie just did not want to get in trouble so Lennie tried to keep her quiet. This shows that George should not be punished for killing Lennie because Lennie did it on

Next, Curley would of shot Lennie in the stomach and let him suffer. On page 92 Curley says “I’m gonna get him. I’m going for my shotgun. I’ll kill the big son-of-a-bitch myself. I’ll shoot ’im in the guts.” This shows that Curley is going to do whatever he could do to make Lennie suffer. Another example is on page 90 George says “I ain’t gonna let ‘em hurt Lennie.” This means that George didn’t wanna let Lennie suffer so George killed Lennie himself just to get done with

Lennie ran off, and George had to make a tough decision, should he kill Lennie to save him from Curley or should he let Curley and Carlson get to Lennie. In the end, George makes the ultimate decision, to euthanize, or to mercifully kill Lennie to save him from Curley’s wrath. In my opinion what, George did was wrong. Everybody has a life, and everybody deserves to live theirs out.

I also felt really sad for George when he had to shoot Lennie, but he did it all out of love. George really cared for Lennie and he proved that he did. Lennie didn't know how to handle certain situations, he was clueless and depended on George, when Curly attacked him he `looked helplessly at George` and cried “Make `um let me alone, George.” Lennie killed Curley's wife and would have to face serious consequences. He knew that Lennie wasn't a mean or bad guy, he was just like a child and lennie was kind of like his father. He didn't want Lennie to suffer, so he shot Lennie quick and painlessly, right in the back of the neck. He made sure Lennie was thinking about their little house and the rabbits that he always talked about.

Should George have killed his best friend Lennie? You really have to think about this question because there can be multiple answers and thoughts. If you think about it, if George did not kill Lennie, he could have suffered an awful death or spent the rest of his life in jail behind bars. Lennie has a mind of a little kid, so he would not understand if he was put behind bars. Also, if George did not kill Lennie Curley could have made him die a very painful death, but George killed him in a way he would not feel anything.

George’s decision was right in the long run, he saved Lennie pain and torture. Lennie would be happy that George shot him and not them. George is a friend, Curley was just trying to hurt him, George just wanted to help him. Obviously George didnt wanna kill Lennie but if he didnt he wouldnt be able to forgive himself for letting them hurt him. Lennie knew he did something wrong that's why he went to the bush, and I think Lennie was in piece when George killed him. I think that because Lennie was his best friend, and George loved Lennie like a brother and Lennie loved him like a brother. They definitely was best friends they had a special bonde, like when the boss said “i never seen anybody take this much trouble for another guy(22).” Was George’s choice the right one? I think his choice was right because he didn't let someone hurt his friend he did it. Lennie would be happier knowing george killed him not Curley who doesn't like him. He was right because Lennie would have been in pain if the other guys got him, they would've shot him in the stomach and let him die of pain. Curley wouldn't have stopped until Lennie was in the most pain possible before death. George did the right thing in killing Lennie, Lennie knew it hurt George but he knew it had to be done. So what if George didn't make the right

Again, George is justified to kill Lennie because he knows that Lennie kills

96.) There was no way out for Lennie, he was in checkmate. Curley wanted revenge, there was no good place for Lennie in that times society. In today’s society, George killing Lennie would not have been justified, at a time when there was little understanding of mental illnesses and even less on how to treat them, George’s choice was the

George killing Lennie is the only choice George had. If George don’t kill Lennie, Curley would have torture him and kill Lennie because Curley is humiliated by Lennie, breaking his hand and kill his wife. They would chain Lennie up like a dog. George said to Candy ‘“I ain’t gonna let’em hurt Lennie’” (95). If Lennie is taken by the police he won’t able to survive because Lennie can’t be by himself without George. George and Lennie only know how to survive with each other. Lennie needs George because George is the only who can take of him. They would have take advantage of him at the jail. If George is not with Lennie, Lennie would get angry like when Crook’s said what if George doesn't come back. If Lennie gets lock up in the dark, he would

Instead, it would have been much more atrocious and painful to George. If Lennie did not kill George at that moment and let him get away, then Curley and the others would have found him and have him hung or shot down at the spot. Lennie made sure he died knowing that Lennie cared for him by saying that he was not mad at what he had done. He also made sure that he died peacefully and happy with the thought of them buying that land and George being able to tend the rabbits. Therefore, Lennie needed to shoot George in the end because it was the best way for him to pass

If George would not have been there for Lennie then Lennie could be dead right no because he is such a big guy with very strong hands and that is why is can be considered dangerous because of his big and strong hands he could easily kill somebody and do it by accident and people would say that he should know better but in all honesty he does not know any better because they do not think before they act they just do what they just do and they do not think about the consequences because some of them do not think like us. Lennie needs George to be there for him because if he was to commit a murder where would Lennie go back to the bushes and wait for somebody to come and shoot him or is he gonna wanna stay there and fight people that is another good reason why Lennie needs George because George knows what to say or do to calm him down

George could have left Lennie any day. George could 've left Reed and let the authorities take lennie so he would run off, start

To begin with, George Milton is responsible for Lennie so he has the right to shoot Lennie. For example, Candy regrets letting someone other than himself shoot his dog, George would feel the same way if he let the others shoot Lennie. George promises Lennie’s aunt Clara that he’d take care of Lennie and by killing him, he does exactly that. If George let Curley kill Lennie, then he would have died a painful death full of nothing but torture. Curley goes as far to say that he will,”... shoot ‘im in the guts”(Steinbeck, 96). Lennie dies a quick and painless death that he doesn’t even see
