By the end of the film however, it is clear that Han’s loyalties in his family and his people were misplaced. Although sad at his father’s suicide, he feels no guilt about killing Kai.
George stated at the beginning that Lennie always gets into troubles. “You do bad things and I go to get you out,” (Steinbeck, 11). When Lennie held Curley's wife tighter and tighter we all knew whats going to happen because first he killed a mouse and he thought he will not do the same thing with a puppy. John Steinbeck used his creativity use of foreshadowing to make the book more enjoyable to read.

They are both selfish men, led by irrational motives. Macbeth killed a good king; he speaks greatly of Duncan when he reconsiders murdering Duncan due to his good heart; “Besides, this Duncan hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been so clear in his great office that his virtues shall plead trumpet-tongued against the deep damnation of his taking off. "(1.7.16-20) Macbeth also happened to be related to Duncan but that still didn’t stop him from murdering him and fulfilling his prophecy.

Although a wise and brave man, Rainsford falls right into the trap the general has set up for him. The two men prove to be equal in a few aspects: intelligence, strategy, size, skill, and experience, while their breach lies in question of morality. What is murder?

Harrison Binker Language and Literature 112 8 January 2010 Of Mice and Men: Argumentative Essay At the end of the story Of Mice and Men George makes a tough decision that can be looked at as either selfish or unselfish. George had decided that he should control Lennie’s fate since he had taken care of him for so long and he should be the one to kill Lennie, not Curley or ant of the other men. George’s act at the end of the story was not selfish because Lennie was George’s responsibility and had been for a long time and because other men were trying to kill Lennie so it was better for George to kill him than men he barely knew.
