The reason Lennie is been over powered by Curley is because Curley as a man is able but he feels jelous-he has an abnomality which makes him permentaly short,so he feels jealous to see Lennie who is taller/bigger than him,this is why he wants"sock" ..
Curley fought with Lennie because he thought he was superior than everyone else on the ranch since he was the boss's son and since at that time, Lennie was laughing, Curley thought that Lennie was laughing at him. Obviously, as I said before, Curley thought he was better than everyone and he thought that he shouldn't be laughed at by such a low person so he punched Lennie because of his own stupidity and snobbishness.
George wanted to spare Lennie from a more brutal and painful death at the hands of Curley and his men. He also wanted to ensure that Lennie's death was more peaceful and compassionate. Additionally, George felt a sense of responsibility for protecting and caring for Lennie throughout their time together.
Well you can buy them at the store in Med, Lrg, and X-Lrg In John Steinbeck novel '' Of Mice and Men'' the main character George and Lennie had a unique relationship. George took care of Lennie since Lennie has a mental illness. George was right to kill Lennie for the following reason. First Lennie will suffer more if Curley finds him and tortured him to avenge her wife from Lennie. Secondly Lennie will not cause more trouble if Geoorge have kill him. Lastly LEnnie might kill anyone again by accident. My first reason in my opinion is that Lennie might suffer more if Geogre didnt kill him. If Curley finds him ,the first thing might Curley do was to catch him and make him pay for what he have done to her wife. Curley will not stop looking for Lennie until he dont revenge her wife. If Curley and the worker catch him, Curley will make him suffer in pain while the other workers tortured and they will have no mercy on him and they will kill Lennie no matter what happened and no matter what it takes. George does not want that to happen to Lennie because he cannot bear watching his best -freind Lennie dying and suffer in pain before he die. Instead of other people kill Lennie ,he did it in his own way which is the most easiest way for Lennie to die without feeling any pain. He know that it was wrong but he also know that he cannot resolve the problem so he did it. There is no way that Curley will forgive Lennie and George know that too. However if George did not kill Lennie Curley might do it in humilating way. My second reason in my opinion is that Lennie will not cause more trouble if George did not kill him. Lennie is sometimes burden to George and sometimes George cant do what he want because he think that Lennie might do another trouble again. George know Lennie than anyone else so he sometimes know what is running on Lennie's mind. George took all the responsibilities for Lennie when Lennie's aunt Clara died. If Lennie is still alive he might cause more trouble in the ranch or in the bunk house. George was right to kill him because he and the others do not know anymore what might Lennie do next especially Lennie has a mental illness and sometimes he dont know what he is doing . In that case it is justified that George killed Lennie to avoid more troble especially when there are in the place where is a lot of people. Even if Curley forgive Lennie and he is stil alive the boss will might not accept them anymore. They already knew that Lennie sometimes donot know what he is doing and maybe they will not talk to him and go near to him because they might be affraid that Lennie might hurt them, like what he did on Culey's wife. The boss was Curley's father so the boss will throw them away. It is just right for George to killed Lennie in order to make more trouble avoided to being worst. My last reason in my opinion is that there is a lot of possibility that Lennie might kill anyone by accident and repeat all the entire mistake he did. Lennie does not know his own strength and sometimes he cannot control it when he is so nervous like what he did to Curley. Curley punch Lennie in the face and the other part too but Lennie did not fight back because his affraid until George encourage him to fight back and Lennie grab Curley's hand and he crush it. George try stop Lennie for crushing Curley's hand but Lennie is still holding it but he let it go to. Lennie always done bad things and every trouble he made George was the one who argue with them. George always save Lennie in every trouble he made. Lennie also always forget what George told him . Example for that is when Lennie try to find his work card is his side coat pocket he do not find it and think that he lost it but the truth is George has it because he know that Lennie might lose it by carrying his own work card. Lennie also done bad things always by accident like killing the mice, the puppy and especially Curley's wife so it is not posssible that he might do it again and kill another person. Only George can understand Lennie very well than anyone else and even though he do not see what really happened in Curley's wife he know that Lennie did not do it on purpose and even George try to explain it to others no one will listen and it will make no differences. No one was there to see what really actually happened at that incident. It is just right for George to kill Lennie for his own sake too and the others . Those are my three reason why should George have to kill Lennie and he was right to do it. George killed Lennie in order to save him from a painful death of the hands of Curley and the other workers. He ought to execute his own best-friend by himself just as Candy the swamper felt that he should have killed his own dog rather than letting a stranger do it and George also it was the right thing to do at that time and there is no time left because Curley and the workers are looking for them and they also near to them. Other's say it what morally wrong because it was mercy killing but in George situation it is just right. Sometimes it might not be but "yes" it might right be too in some circumstances. It is hard for George to kill his best-friend but what George did is for Lennie's own sake to. George is the one who is always make decision for Lennie but ,not for what Lennie can have .George make decision for what is the best for Lennie because he care so much and he love Lennie even his not showing it to him.
After Lennie and George meet Curley's wife for the first time George says to Lennie" Jesus, what a tramp"(pg.33)He later turns to Lennie after Lennie says that he finds her "purty" (pretty) and tells him to stay away from her."Listen to me you crazy bastard," he said fiercely. "Don't you even take a look at that bitch. I don't care what she says and what she does. I seen 'em poison before, but i never seen no piece of jail bait worse than her..."(pg. 33)"Well you keep away from her, 'cause she's a rattrap..."(pg. 34)
George realized that if he left Lennie at the brush, Curley would come after Lennie and torture him before murdering him in the most brutal way possible. Don't then say "And why didn't George just run away with Lennie?" He didn't because Curley is bloodthirsty and will stop at nothing to kill Lennie. The way I see it, the brush is relatively close to the ranch, and Curley will be there in a few moments. George had no time to run away. George knew as well that if he somehow managed to help Lennie escape, Lennie will definitely get himself into trouble again, as we see as a consistent theme running through the book. George shoots Lennie in the back of the head - the same way Candy's dog was killed. Both acts were viewed as ones of kindness, as neither Lennie nor Candy's dog would be able to survive in a world where the mighty rule the meek. Especially not during the time of the Depression.
because Curley was going to kill him anyway & it'd be better for Lennie to be killed by his close friend George during a happy fantasy instead being killed by an enemy out of revenge and anger
In 'Of Mice and Men' chapter three will only take a few munutes to read. Halfway through the chapter Curley comes on the scene, looking for his wife. He thinks she is in the men's mess room. She isn't there. Noticing that Slim is also not there, he asks where Slim is. It looks as if Curley thinks that Slim is with his wife in the barn. Curley rushes out to the barn. However, Lennie tells the men in the room that Curley's wife is not in the barn. Slim returns, acccompanied by Curley. Slim is very annoyed that Curley keeps asking him if he's been keeping keeping company with his (Curley's) wife. Curley apologises. A fight breaks out. Curley gets hurt, but is made to promises not to tell anyone, because it was he (Curley) that started it. Apart from this information, from the information in chapter three we know no more about Curley's thoughts. But we can guess!
Curleys wife didnt take him seriously ,but he was the only person she could talk to. "You are nuts , but you kinda nice fella". He was her friend because Curley never spend time with her and that times women were treted not as they are treated now .She treated him as if he was her closest friend ,but Lennie was warried and didnt want to talk to her because george wouldn't let him to "tend them rabits" if he talks to her.
If you are referring to the brush and the salinas river, it is because Lennie kills Curley's wife and was told by George to go back to the brush if he gets in trouble so that is where he goes. He is told in the first chapter, showing the inevitibility that he would get in trouble. :)
Curley's wife's desire to talk to Crooks, Candy, and Lennie signifies her loneliness and lack of companionship on the ranch. She sees them as outcasts like herself and seeks some form of connection with them, even if they are considered "weak" by the other men on the ranch. It also highlights the theme of isolation among the characters in Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men."
Loneliness mainly affects Curley's wife and Crooks. Curley's wife is so promiscuous and flirtatious because Curley keeps her away from other people. Being so lonely, she wants to talk to and be with anybody else she sees. Crooks is rude to Lennie the first time Lennie enters his room because he is so lonely. He feels like an outcast because he is African American. This causes him to take advantage of and be nasty to the one person he finds himself superior to, since he is usually put down or ignored by others.
