Theme Of Foreshadowing In Of Mice And Men

Arguably the biggest example of foreshadowing came from Lennie getting shot. In the book on pg. 12 it said, “George said, ‘I want you to stay with me, Lennie. Jesus Christ, somebody’d shoot you for a coyote if you was by yourself.’” This quote represents foreshadowing as it says Lennie will be shot. The book ended with Lennie getting shot by George as George couldn’t stand seeing Lennie getting killed by anyone else. Also this quote shows foreshadowing as Lennie was shot like a dog. In the quote it said that somebody would shoot him like a coyote. By saying that he would get shot like a coyote, he meant getting shot when he wouldn’t even expect it. This is exactly what George did at the end; he shot Lennie when he wasn’t expecting it.

If he comes in here you move clear to the other side of the room. Will you do that, Lennie?" "I don't want no trouble," Lennie mourned. "I never done nothing　to him." "Well, that won't do you no good if Curley wants to plug himself　up for a fighter. Just don't have nothing to do with him. Will you　remember?"　 "Sure, George. I ain't gonna say a
