What are some examples of foreshadowing in chapter 3 of mice and men?

In chapter 3 of "of mice and men" the main event that is foreshadowed is the death of Lennie in the latter part of the novella. Half way through chapter 3: Slim, George, Candy and Carlson are gathered in the bunk house. Carlson, who is repulsed by the smell from Candy's dog, tries to convince Candy to let him shoot his dog. Candy's dog is "stiff with rheumatism", "ancient" and he "suffers himself all the time". Carlson says to Candy that he "ain't bein' kind to him keepin' him alive". Carlson says that Candy should let him kill his dog out of mercy, that they shouldn't let him suffer.This foreshadows the death of Lennie in chapter 6, when George kills Lennie out of mercy. Also: the manner in which the dog was shot, "right at the back of the head", is the same way that Lennie was killed. Candy's dog can also be compared to Lennie in the fact that they are both humble and simple beings. Both of them were distracted, because they didn't know any better. Their lifes rely on trust.


What is the relationship between candys dogs death and lennies death?

The death of Candy's dog foreshadows Lennie's death. There are lots of parallels: the dog is a faithful friend to Candy and Candy doesn't want to lose him. It's the others who urge him. He gives in when they convince him that otherwise the dog will only suffer. Later he admits to George that he should have shot the dog himself. That's what George then does to Lennie.


Why does Lennie show a violent streak when George tells him about the future ranch?

While describing their future, George tells Lennie that they will own a dog and a couple of cats, but Lennie will have to make sure that the cats don't get hold of the rabbits. In response to this, Lennie states, "You jus' let'em try to get the rabbits. I'll break their God d*mn necks. I'll...I'll smash'em with a stick." (Pg.58) This statement shows how irrational Lennie can be, which justifies how he is unable to survive on his own. Also, Lennie's statement shows how prevalent violence is during this time. Lennie does not see any other way to keep the cats from his rabbits, other than hurting them, or killing them, just as Carlson can see no other alternative but to shoot Candy's dog.
