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”.
He is happy to commit murder if that was to be the end of it but he fears the consequences and is concerned that the same fate will befall him, “Bloody instructions, which being taught, return To plague the inventor”. He is moral man, loyal to the King who has recently honoured him. Macbeth tells himself that he cannot escape the consequences of assassinating Duncan yet ‘only vaulting ambition, which o’erleaps itself And falls on the other”. This suggests that his own motivation is ambition, which he understands makes people rush ahead of themselves and ends in a downfall. This is a prophetic reflection of the final denouement of the play.
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. Both the deaths followed the paradox “cruel to be kind” as it was only to prevent the dog and Lennie more pain and hurt in the future. However, George killed his friend himself to make sure he was
He went through with it even though he ran the risk of being killed himself. He was not afraid to go to war with Mark Antony even when he know he could die. During the battle Cassius had to kill his flag carrier because he started to turn back and all of Cassius troops started to
One of his famous quotes “I'll tell you this, in any fight it's the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win” expresses the success that one can possibly have after getting over the fear of death. It should not be a bad and embarrassing thing for Jack, many people have a fear of death. Jack just lets it haunt him too much. The protagonist Jack Gladney yearned to figure out how not to fear death in the novel White Noise written by Don Delillo. He is easily influenced by other characters in the book such as Vernon Dickey, Bee, Orest Mercator, and other media portrayed occurrences like Hitlers mass killings.
He talks it over with his wife, and is pressured onto killing Duncan. The main reason Macbeth is pressured into killing Duncan is because he has vaulting or blind ambition. Vaulting or blind ambition is when someone has a mindset of something, and without thinking they spring at the first opportunity that they have. Blind or vaulting ambition can be a good thing, because it basically means that you will stop a nothing to achieve your goals. Blind ambition can also encourage those around you to fulfill their goals.
Kim Jensen Mark Brown English 1002 7 February 2012 Choosing Your Own Fate In Flannery O’Connor’s story “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” the Misfit is portrayed as the one that is carrying out the fate that the family has decided for themselves. The Misfit says that “You can do one thing or you can do another, kill a man or take a tire off his car, because sooner or later you’re going to forget what it was you done and just be punished for it”(339). In a sence he is right. In this story the grandmother, Bailey, the children and the mother all have decide what type of lives they want to live. They all live with sins everyday between the lying and the disrespect that they have towards each other.
The reason about this is because before doing something Hamlet wants to makes sure that he is right and not judging his uncle and mother in the wrong way. After that he judges his mother and decides to kill Polonius in a desperate situation. This change occurs because he was not conscious about himself, taking into account that minutes ago he discovered the truth about his father’s murder. Finally he takes revenge and kills the king. This change occurred because at this point
George is compared to a parent as he dictates or uses direct language with Lennie, for example ‘George was on his feet yelling, get him Lennie, don’t let him do this.’ This symbolises George care for Lennie like a parent would care for their child, he constantly takes care of Lennie’s problems and tells him what to do. Lennie can be sweet and loving, however when Lennie kills Curley’s wife he’s violent side is shown which is rarely seen in the novel; this symbolises that he may not be aware of his true strength, ‘Lennie looked at the dead girl. The puppy lay close to her. Lennie picked it up. I’ll throw it away he said.
Although George is all mother hen around Lennie, he can be rather gruff with outsiders. He’s suspicious of nearly everyone, except Slim, and seems to take his time warming up to people. This general distrust puts George’s relationship with Lennie in even greater contrast – it’s pretty extraordinary that George has opened up, and though he doesn’t run around declaring that he’s BFF with Lennie, it’s pretty clear that his gruff affection is more than anyone else will ever get. George doesn’t exactly spend the whole book declaring much of anything about him. But his final act in the novella reveals that he has a clear sense of right and wrong – and that he truly loves Lennie.
