GCSE English Coursework Of Mice and Men – John Steinbeck The death of Curley’s wife and Lennie are shocking events. How convincing and predictable do you find the last two sections of the novel? The last two sections of the novel are what the whole story is leading up to – the death of a fellow human being (Curley’s wife) caused by Lennie and then finally, the death of Lennie himself. These two events are both tragic but the killing of Lennie most probably would have been impossible to avoid, and therefore the reader believes it to be realistic. Quite soon into reading the book you could take an educated guess that Lennie would die at the end of the story. Lennie is childlike in some ways in his personality, for example, at the start of the story when he is madly drinking from the pool like an animal. He is unknowingly powerful and has a very short memory. When Curley’s wife comes into the story it is also rather predictable and inevitable that Lennie would either scare, harm or kill her, by accident. We know this because you find out early on in the story that that an incident similar to this had already happened.
