George killed Lennie, just like Carlson, another gaucho at the ranch where the story happens killed Candy’s (another gaucho at the ranch) dog.He did it because he had to, and it was the best for the dog. Lennie had done something more acute than accidentally killing a small mouse or a puppy, he had murdered Curley’s wife. Whether it was on purpose or not, if George had let Lennie live Lennie could have been lynched or tortured to death. George knew he wouldn’t be able to live with himself if he let the man he was responsible for, be killed out of revenge. Lennie had no idea what he was doing, and it wasn’t fair that he should be killed out of hate.
Dreams is also linked in with the bunkhouse because this is where George and Lennie discuss their dream ‘of living on the fat of the land’ ‘ Lennie tending the rabbits’ but candy over hears their conversation and wants to be part of their dream. This adds to the tragedy of the story when Lennie dies, because of this now all three of them have shattered dreams. This could show how the people during the American dreams back in the 1930’s do have hopes and dreams but most of their dreams do not come
Lennie said the word “rabbit” because he wanted a pet rabbit and it symbolized him and George getting their own farm. George told the story of his and Lennie’s own farm repeatedly to give them hope and determination of achieving it.

There was a heated gun fight and three of the thieves ended up dead, but Tom got away with Mattie. He declared to the marshals from far away that if the marshals tried to rescue her he would kill her. The marshals had no choice but to withdraw. Tom took her to his hideout and was told to then stay there by his boss, Ned, while him and his thieves rode off to another hideout. He agreed and as soon as the thieves left Mattie attacked Tom and tried to run but Tom caught her.
George tries to calm him down by talking to him about their dream ranch and what it would be like, he slowly distracts Lennie's attention until he decides to shoot Lennie in the head with a pistol. It ends with George walking off with Slim while weeping over having to shoot Lennie. By Gerry
She is a temptress who disturbs the fraternity of the men, for whenever she enters the bunkhouse, or at least stands in the doorway, preventing the men's passage, Curley's wife is a source of tension: The men worry that they will succumb to her physical allure; they worry that Curley will appear and become jealous and enraged against them. Once she has tempted Lennie, he sins and kills her--albeit accidentally. At any rate, the death of Curley's wife is the end of the "dream" for Lennie and George and Candy. There can be no Eden for them as George must kill Lennie before he is caught and his soul destroyed. With the death of the child-like Lennie, the innocent dream of having a ranch is also
‘Who hurt George?’ he demanded” (Steinbeck 73). Lennie’s childish anger in this scene proves how he is able to put others in danger without having a malicious reason to. Another scene was when Lennie panicked and accidentally broke Curley’s wife’s neck, due to his strength. Many situations like these can happen again, resulting in Lennie murdering more lives. George only obliterated this danger by killing Lennie.
George also does the euthanizing of Lennie correctly. George finds Lennie and begins talking to him in a soothing way. He talks about the rabbits they will have, and how they are different from other people. George talks with Lennie for some time. At last George tells Lennie to look across the river and Lennie obeys him for one last time.
