Well at first he tells him to stay away from him, but when he starts to get punched by him he says to fight him.
Two things that George tells Lennie to do with regards to Curley are to "keep his distance" and "stick up for himself".
George MiltonLennie smallGeorge and Lennie. Lennie is a big guy who's a bit slow and likes to pet soft things like rats. George is a short guy who travels with Lennie and tries to keep him out of trouble.
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.
they started working. they made of couple of friends. just as things started to clear up, a suspicous woman with no name cam up. she was curley's wife and she was trouble. she started talking to lennie alone one dayand started pushing his buttons. it wasn't in lennie's control, and he started shaking her rapidly. because of lennie's strength, he did kill Curley's wife. wHEN CURLEY AND THE OTHERS INCLUDING gEORGE FOUND OUT, THEY IMMEDIATELY KNEW IT WAS LENNIE AND WENT AFTER HIM. George knew if they had found him, they would either hang him or sent him to a mental institution. both were pure torture, so slowly while explaining the "tending to the rabbits" story to lennie, George shot him.
Lennie accidentally killed Curley's wife while trying to stop her from screaming during a struggle. Lennie, who has a tendency to be rough without realizing his own strength, unintentionally caused her death in a moment of panic.
George manipulates Lennie by taking advantage of Lennie's simple-mindedness and dependence on him. He often convinces Lennie to do things or not do things by appealing to Lennie's trust in him and his desire to please George. George can be both loving and controlling towards Lennie, using their close bond to control their situation.
Curley's wife is one to blame. I had to write a essay in class for who is to blame for the tragedy that happens to Lennie at the end, and Curley's wife is the reason. First of all, Curley's wife was stupid to tell Lennie to touch her hair, "I know lets let a giant man who has a tends to kill things by over petting them because there soft touch my loverly soft hair" Second, when Curley's wife started shouting and Lennie said oh be quiet, don't shout, George will make hell for me, she shut of shut her trap. If she would have listened to Lennie and didn't shout, Lennie would have not paniced and try to make her quiet by smothering her, and ending up breaking her neck, which killed her. Hope that helps
Lennie dies when George shoots him in the back of the head during the final chapter (chapter 6). George shoots Lennie to spare Lennie from being lynched by Curley and his mob. Curley is an angry, violent man who wouldn't listen to reason (reason being - that Lennie never meant to kill Curley's wife, and that her death was purely an accident), and also because he wants revenge since Lennie busted his hand.
In section five, you find out that Curley's wife is not unlike Lennie in the sense that they both have dreams of their own, except Curley's wife's dreams had the chance to come true, but they didn't. You also learn that she is very lonely as she is left all alone on the ranch all day everyday and really just wants someone to talk to. You learn about both of these things when she is having a conversation with Lennie in the barn, not long before she is actually killed by Lennie himself.
well could be the one guy in the today show crowd everyday In the book 'Of Mice and Men' Lennie is Lennie Small, he is George's best friend. He is traveller looking for work during the great depression in America. He is very big but doesn't no his own strength. He is also not very bright. He is obsessed with rabbits and loves touching soft things which gets him into a lot of trouble.
Of Mice and Men is a novel about two migrant workers, George Milton and Lennie Small. Here are some key events, although there are many more: -George and Lennie stop at a pool by the Salinas river. They are off to take up work at a nearby ranch. They had to leave a town called Weed because Lennie touched a girl's dress and she claimed that he raped her. George tells Lennie about their dream of owning a piece of land. Lennie is mentally disabled. -They arrive at the ranch and meet Candy, the old swamper with a missing hand. He introduces them to the boss. In the bunk house they meet Curley, the boss's son who has a virile personality, his wife who is described as a 'tart' and Slim, the jerkline skinner and unofficial leader of the men. -George tells Slim everything about what happened in Weed. Slim gives Lennie a puppy. Carlson, a typical insensitive ranch hand, convinces Candy to let his old dog be shot. Candy buys into George and Lennie's dream with his savings. Curley comes in and starts a fight with Lennie. When ordered to retaliate by George, Lennie breaks Curley's hands. Lennie is incredibly strong. Slim tells Curley to say that he got his hand 'caught in a machine'. -The men go to town, leaving Candy, Lennie and Crooks, the black stable buck behind. Lennie goes into Crooks's room. Crooks teases him. Candy comes in and talks about the dream. Curley's wife comes in and Crooks tells her to leave. She threatens him with a charge of rape. -Lennie kills the puppy in the barn. Curley's wife comes in and talks to Lennie about her dream of being a movie star. She invites Lennie to feel her soft hair, as Lennie is drawn to soft things. She panics and Lennie holds on. He breaks her neck and she dies. It is obvious Lennie is the killer. Curley is very eager to kill Lennie to avenge his hand. -George meets Lennie back at the pool where the novel started. He tells Lennie the story of the dream and then shoots him in the back of the head. He knows this is kinder to him that allowing him to be killed maliciously by Curley. Slim and the others find him there and Slim comforts him for killing Lennie. Curley and Carlson do not understand the friendship between George and Lennie. Hope this helps!
No they don't. Lennie crushes Curly's hand, but Slim persuaded Curly into saying that he got his hand caught into a machine,and in return nobody would find out how Curley, the winner of a boxing tournament called the 'Golden gloves' tournament, lost to a simple ranch worker. Curley's father only knows that Curley got his hand caught in a machine.
The giant rabbit is a manifestation of Lennie's guilt and anxiety over his actions, particularly regarding the death of the puppy and Curley's wife. It symbolizes Lennie's fear of consequences and his own inner turmoil.
