In the following chapter all men have sort of a tournament and Lennie is alone in the barn with his puppy, which he accidentally stroked to death. ...

When the other men reach the place and see what happened, he says that he shot Lennie in the attempt to take away his gun. ...

Steinbeck describes the two migrant workers with a big physical difference but the complexity about their relationship you get to know out of what and how they talk to each other. ... The boss cannot understand that two men would have any concern for each other unless they were bound by familial connections, and Georges’ lie demonstrates that this view is widespread. ... George shoots Lennie in the head from behind to save him from the struggling and painful deaththat he would go through by being found by the other men. ... The book ends with Carlson wondering why George is upset, one more proof that the other men cannot comprehend the bond of friendship between George and Lennie.
