In comparison, Slim was more thoughtful and wanted the dog dead for its own good because of its poor health: “He ain't no good to you, Candy. An' he ain't no good to himself. Why'n't you shoot him, Candy?” At the end of the novel when Lennie must die, similarly, Carlson is only interested in killing the weak (Lennie), so he says, “I’ll get my luger” not thinking about anyone else. The scene that includes the killing of the old dog foreshadows the death of Lennie too; one clue is that the dog is shot in the back of the head completely unaware and with no pain with the luger. Towards the end of the novel, Lennie is also secretly shot in the same place with the same weapon by George out of mercy so his friend doesn’t experience a cruel painful death.
Carlson and Whit are more minor characters in the novella. Carlson is unsentimental and aggressive, and he convinces Candy to let him shoot his dog. Whit is native and enthusiastic about lie – he likes simple pleasures and is easily amused. Carlson is insensitive; this is because he does not consider anyone’s feelings. He thinks that Candy’s dog should be shot because it is old and smelly, he persistently argues to shoot the dog, an example is when he says “Well, I can’t stand him in here” and “and he stinks to bear hell.
In this scene she then begins to scream and Lennie panics which led to him breaking her neck. Now all the workers are out on horses looking for Lennie, his buddy George finds him and kills him before anyone else could. The novel shows that mercy killing is good and should be practiced. Lennie didn’t deserve to die for multiple reasons. Lennie didn’t deserve to die because it is not his fault, he didn’t know his own strength when he shook Curley’s wife, breaking her neck.

Although George sees him as a frustration without him he wouldn’t be George. When Lennie and George are apart a bad terrible thing happens, Lennie kills Curley’s wife and causes his own death as well. George kills Lennie out of love and even though he didn’t want to at least he didn’t let some stranger do it. Throughout the book Lennie always knows at least one thing to be true, he always has George. In a couple of spots in the book Lennie remembers and repeats, “Because I got you, and you got me”.
Both were shot in the back of the head. Carlson said to Candy “shoot him right in the back of the head-“ and Steinbeck writes that “he brought the muzzle of it close to the back of Lennie’s head.”. So we know that they were killed in the same way and this is just another way that they are treated on the same level. Having said this however, Lennie was not shot like a dog. It is very unlikely that Carlson comforted the dog before its death as George did for Lennie.
Bedford was the murderer, firing a gun right into Burda’s chest. Krouse was in charge of restraining Burda by tying him up, and from some type A blood on the rope, it is believed that Burda was conscious at the time of being tied up, and fought back, injuring Krouse and scattering her blood. While trying to guard himself from Krouse, Burda ran over to the power box and hid while the girls were looking for him.
