Question

In the book Of Mice & Men are George’s final actions justifiable? Why or why not? Does George’s decision remind you of another important event in the story?

Answer 1

Answer:

George's decision to kill Lennie is reminiscent of when Candy's old dog was killed. Whether or not it was justifiable is a matter of opinion, but George's intentions were not doubt pure. George knew that Lennie would no doubt have an awful life even if he wasn't caught, for at that time it was very difficult living with a mental handicap. George wanted Lennie to die while happy.
