The Death of Lennie

        In the final chapter of the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, things took a turn for the worst when Lennie was shot and killed by his best bud George. George and Lennie always fantasized about having a happy life on a land with rabbits and other animals but sadly the fantasy was not able to evolve into anything more than what it was, just a dream.



        

                                                                    Tragic deaths of movie/book characters that will never be forgotten. 



       A certain factor that made the death of Lennie to be even more heart breaking was that he was killed by someone he trusted most dearly. George and Lennie shared a unique and caring relationship and they always had each other backs. What George did could almost be seen as a stab in the back, almost like a betrayal. Similarly, the fictional characters above were all killed by people they thought they could trust. For instance, Dumbledore was murdered by Professor Snape who is someone he worked and fought beside, Chuck was shot by Gally who was someone he lived along with inside the maze, and lastly Han Solo who was killed by Kylo Ren. Han Solo might have not actually trusted Kylo Ren but besides that, he was his son and that does represent a type of betrayal for sure, seeing that Han Solo basically created Kylo Ren.

                                                      


       In the end, George did shoot Lennie and Lennie did in fact die. He died in a peaceful way, not by the gunshot but by the conversation they had before the end when George made Lennie for the final time repeat the dream they had which again shows the love and care George always had for Lennie.

      Rest in peace Lennie.
