CURLEY
The dead mouse and puppy in "Of Mice and Men" represent the vulnerability of those who are weaker and unable to protect themselves in a harsh environment. It highlights the idea of powerlessness and the cycle of tragedy that can occur in an unforgiving world.
After Carlson talks to Slim, Lennie becomes interested in the idea of owning a puppy like Slim's. He admires Slim's relationship with his dog and wishes to have a similar companionship with a puppy of his own.
George didn't want Lennie to have a mouse because he was concerned that Lennie would accidentally kill it with his strength, and he also didn't want Lennie to get sick from handling the mouse and die.
He wants to pet it with his thumb
The main two main reasons why George didn't want Lennie to have a mouse are that he kills the mouse without knowing/realizing his own strength when the mice bite him, and Lennie bothers George by bringing that same mouse but Lennie doesn't know that bothers him. Lennie acts like a child mental.
George didn't want Lennie to have a mouse because Lennie often pets animals too roughly, unintentionally causing harm. Additionally, George believed that having a mouse would contribute to Lennie's habit of getting into trouble and causing problems.
