s novella
evokes many emotions from the characters and the readers. From the
beginning of the story, it is apparent thatandwill have to face something tragic. Lennies
retardation, his temper, and his powerful physical strength are a time bomb. George knows that
Lennie must be protected, but he cannot be with him every minute of the day.
When Lennie is left to his own devices, he breaks the rules that George has set for
him. His love of petting soft things overwhelms his need to please George. When Lennie kills
the puppy and Curleys wife, there is no way that George can fix this for him. George suffers
the most when he is forced to kill Lennie.
Curley cannot be reasoned with
about this murder because he already hates Lennie. George assumes that if Curley catches Lennie
he will hurt him...
