GEORGE
- The Dream
- 'His eyes were full of wonder'
- Is fully aware of the life most itinerant
workers are destined for, and to
maintain the strength to live he has to
have hope.
- Ending is so tragic because he needs Lennie to be different, and to have something more to look forward to than 'blowin'' the fifty bucks at the end of the month. But he gives Lennie a merciful death and
ensures himself a depressed future.
- Euthanasia is the right thing. Steinbeck confirms this through the ideal man: Slim' 'you
hadda George.
- 'He pulled the trigger. The crash of the shot rolled up the
hills and rolled down again'
- Ironic as the statement is so simplistic; echoes
how the world doesn't care, and will continue
anyway.
