Of Mice And Men :: John Steinbeck

"Aint No Good to Himself nor Anybody Else"You seen what they did to my give chase this night? They says he wasnt no in effect(p) to himself nor anybody else. I wish persond convey me when I aint no bang-up no more.(60) confect spoke these words implying that death is better than organism no goodly to himself or anybody else. The same is confessedly for Lennie. Lennie wasnt good for himself because he couldnt survive on his own. He cant stay out of trouble and without George he would confuse been dead a long time ago. Hes no good to others because he doesnt now his own strength and cant delay himself. He had murdered a woman because of his curiosity and his self-uncontrollability. I ought to of coolness that dog myself, George I shouldnt ought let no stranger shoot my dog.(61) As Candy said he had the choice of saving his dog from himself and others. So did George but unlike the regretful Candy, George made the right ratiocination in saving Lennie from himself and others. Candys dog was no good to itself and was going to be shot by strangers. It would have been better for Candy to shoot him himself. It would have been better for Candys dog to be saved from himself by a friend than by a stranger. George was in the right by ending Lennies life himself.There was no stopping the inevitable. The workers would have gotten the dog killed any way they could. The same is true for George. Curly and the workers no matter what would have killed Lennie. George could not stop them from cleanup Lennie. He could only save Lennie from the fear and loneliness he would recover if a stranger killed him. Who knows what they might have done to Lennie if George wouldnt have saved him from them? They might have shot him in a hindquarters where he would have died slowly or they might have hung him or a combination of both and he would have died alone and afraid. In discussing the guilt of George you have to consider the time setting of this novel. It was set in th e 1930s. The reason you must consider the time setting is because things change with time. What whitethorn have been allowed then may not have been allowed now. What happened then may not have happened now.
