How Does George Kill Lennie's Death

In Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, a George euthanized another character, because Lennie accidentally killed a puppy and Curley's wife. The husband of the wife wanted to give Lennie a painful death, and George didn't want that, so George shot him in the back of the skull, killing him instantly and sparing him from a painful shotgun wound. Death is inevitable, you can't escape it. It'll happen to all of us one way or another. In “Of Mice and Men”, John Steinbeck writes about two men named George and Lennie. They travel around during the 1930s looking for work during The Great Depression. George has to kill Lennie for everybody else's sake. I believe that is okay, that to hurt one person is better than that person hurting others. O believe

George knows that if Lennie lives a life, it'll cause them both trouble. Like in the instance where he killed a man's wife, in which the author writes “And then she was still, for Lennie had broken her neck.” (Steinbeck 91) Lennie murdered a woman, so he needs to be shot for his actions. So then George kills Lennie, the author writes in regard to this “Lennie jarred, and then settled slowly forward to the sand, lay without quivering.” (Steinbeck 106). Lennie would just ruin everything for a George, he wouldn't have opportunities for many things and Lennie might go off and accidentally murder another animal or human. “Curley was ahead. He saw Lennie lying on the sand. “Got him, by God.” He went over and looked down at Lennie, and then he looked back at George. “Right in the back of the head,” he said softly”. (Steinbeck 107) This supports my argument that, since it was so quick and so sudden, Lennie didn't feel a thing. So in the book, I think euthanasia is justified for Lennie, he killed a person and killed a dog, that's not

If they have to live a life of pain and suffering, with no way out other than even more physiological damage to the family and themselves, euthanasia should be legal. “Mr. Williams said "It's not a choice between life and death. It's a choice between different ways of dying."”. (Benjamin Preiss) Euthanasia is a heavy topic, loved ones dying by choice, and not by life. They don't put themselves in the shoes of the victim, they don't put themselves in the place of a mentally ill, or physiologically ill person, they see euthanasia as a bad thing, to take away the right to live and prosper. If your life is going down a spiral of bad fortune, I think it's acceptable to euthanize yourself with assisted help from a psychiatrist. “Nine in ten agree a person should not be forced to endure intolerable suffering” (By R. Michael Warren) Going through unbearable pain is, unbearable, I wouldn't want to live a life of suffering, I'd want to end it so I'm no longer in pain, not to spite those who love
