Was George Justified In Of Mice And Men

After going through all the evidence, I still believe very strongly that George was justified in killing Lennie. In anyway someone tries to spin it there's always a counter that justifies George still did the right thing. In our lifetime where there are many cruel people we’re obligated to do the right thing no matter the consequence, even if it's hard to do, it's best for

George and Lennie were best friends for a long time, more like brothers. Lennie is about as bright as a 2 watt bulb, so George couldn’t really get mad at him when he accidently killed Curley’s wife while feeling the softness of her hair. “…’I ain’t mad. I never been mad, an’ I ain’t now. That’s a thing I want ya to know’”. The two had planned a future together—a future in their own dream ranch, a ranch where no trouble would ever bother them. “’You…an’ me. Ever’body gonna be nice to you. Ain’t gonna be no more trouble. Nobody gonna hurt nobody nor steal from ‘em’”. Then after he tells him about the rabbits that Lennie is so fond of, he shoots him in the back of the head where he knows it will not hurt him, and Lennie will not know what hit him. This is the peaceful alternative to what Curley had in store for him. Curley's exact words were "shoot the bastard right in the guts." George's euthanizing of Lennie makes the mentally incompetent Lennie die with dignity. Had Curley gotten to Lennie first, Lennie would have suffered. This shows you how much George cares for Lennie, no matter what he does or the crimes he commits. He’d always be there to help Lennie get right back up to his feet, make him forget all his worries, and move on like nothing happened. I strongly believe George was the right person to kill Lennie, and made the right decision in doing so, rather than to let him suffer in the hands of Curley.

In Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck, George was overall morally justified for shooting Lennie because he had good reasons to do so. George did take Lennie’s life but he did it to save Lennie from the pain of Curley’s wrath. If George did not kill Lennie, then he would have had to suffer through life in jail or an asylum or torture from Curley. Many people think that George was responsible for Lennie, so the murder was not justified. However, George was justified because Lennie had hurt others before and had strong potential to hurt again.

In Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck George kills his best friend Lennie. George’s reasoning for this is that Lennie is killing too many people and has become a burden. Lennie does not realize that he is doing wrong by accidentally killing animals and people. George says that he is doing this for other’s benefit when really he is doing this for his own good. This was wrong of George and he is guilty because even though Lennie was accidentally

Some people think that George did not do the right thing by killing Lennie because there were alternative options for shooting him. But, if George and Lennie decided to run away, they would be running their whole life, and if George decided to turn Lennie in, he

In John Steinbeck's classic novella, Of Mice and Men, George makes the decision of killing Lennie because he knows it is in Lennie's best interest. His act of killing Lennie is not considered criminal. George has good intentions in killing his companion. George is trying to prevent Lennie from being tortured and from his constant desire to please George and not cause trouble. Additionally, Lennie repeatedly places himself in difficult situations, and as a result, brings George into the circumstances. There is a close friendship between George and Lennie, and George had carefully thought out whether or not he

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.

Of Mice and Men In the Novel Of Mice and Men, George kills Lennie. The question was mentioned up if George was justified by killing Lennie. George was justified in killing Lennie because Lennie was careless and dangerous.

People are driven to kill others for different reasons. In the novel Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck tells a story of two men in the 1900s trying to find work. Their names are George and Lennie who end up working on a ranch, which and soon Lennie would cause a decade of problems. Which shall lead to the death of him killed by his own colleague, George. George was justified in killing Lennie because Lennie instigated a lot of problems for society.

She started to scream for help which made Lennie upset, “Lennie was in a panic. His face was contorted. She screamed and Lennie’s other hand closed over her mouth and nose. ‘Please don’t!’ he begged. ‘Oh please don’t do that. George’ll be mad,’” Lennie spoke frantically. (Steinbeck 91) Lennie had realized he did a bad thing when he lifted up Curley’s wife’s arm, let go, and it just dropped. Lennie decided his best choice was going to be to sneak away to the spot by the river where, in the beginning of the story, George told him to go to if he had done something really bad. After Candy walked into the barn to check on Lennie and found Curley’s wife dead, he told George then the guys. All of the guys got on horses, besides George, and took off to find Lennie. When he couldn’t see the guys anymore, George went to the river and found Lennie. When George found Lennie, he had to make the difficult decision to shoot Lennie. With Lennie being dangerous, even unintentionally, it was best for him to be shot, especially by George. If

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

Killing someone is never justified no matter what the person has done. In the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, George uses Lennie’s lack of intelligence to trick him into his horrible death. Also, George plans the death of Lennie based on his thoughts which is very selfish. Critics might argue, that George kills Lennie because he was going to die a more painful death if the ranchers got him. However, George Milton is a villain for betraying the trust of his best friend Lennie Small by pulling the trigger on him.

Lennie and George stuck together always and never worked apart but Lennie had some mental issues that could be dangerous to people and or harmful. Although George grew to love and care about Lennie, he was getting to threatening to other people they were working with and had to do thing for everyone’s safety. George was right to kill Lennie. Lennie couldn’t control his actions and didn't know when to stop. George knew that all the other guys would hurt him more, putting him in danger.

George sometimes was portrayed as a short tempered man as he often throws mean words on Lennie, but most of that was out of his worries that Lennie would cause troubles. He would say that he is better off without Lennie and that if Lennie commit even one more mistake he would not get to tend the rabbits. Lennie actually learned it by heart. That idea consequently led Lennie to kill Curley’s wife. Abide being a bit harsh on Lennie all of his actions mean well.

George had to bring himself to a decision on whether or not to let Lennie go or to kill him peacefully. George made the right decision on ending Lennie’s life because he never learned from his mistakes, he has lack of self control and if George did not do it the other men would have done it for him.
