Even though, she isn’t really suppose to be messing around with other people, specifically men, Lennie is a very understand person. He listened to her insights, while she tells him about her long lost dream of living a different life. She tells him about her mother denying her opportunity to join a travel agency when she was only 15 years old. The worse part was that a couple years later, a talent scout found her, and promised to take her to Hollywood. When that didn’t work out, she decided to just forget about it and marry Curley. The problem with that is she doesn’t even like him, which means she just took the easy way out instead of fighting for something that she believed in and wanted.
Being the not very educated women that she is, Curley’s wife decided to let him touch her hair because she wanted to get Lennie more involved with her, seeming as though she doesn’t want anything to do with Curley, and she is always messing around with someone. This started because Lennie was trying to express to her how much he liked to touch soft things with his fingers. This was a bad idea, because Lennie got too excited and starts to hold on tighter. When she becomes frightened, she cried out, only leading him to cover her mouth, and hold on tighter. Finally, He starts to shake her, and in the process, he breaks her neck. This was for the most part her fault because even though she didn’t know that would be the outcome, she still knew his strength.
This is not good especially because George and Lennie were suppose to keep things cool, but something as big as this won’t be so forgiving. After this entire situation had taken place, Lennie went to the hiding place, where he was told to wait for George, while he was there two main thoughts kept running through his head. In his own voice, his Aunt Clara appeared out of his head, and told his that he was a bad friend for getting both him and George in trouble, and causing many problems. The image that came in his head was a rabbit that told him that George was going to abandon him. These two things really had Lennie shook up, especially because George meant a lot to him.
When George had finally come, things were probably so bad that even though one of the hardest things for him to do was finally “help” Lennie in the best way that he can. There wasn’t anything else that he could have done to stop Lennie from dealing with all of the trouble and pain and suffering that he was going through. Even though it might have been something terrible for George to have to deal with, shooting his companion, what else could he have done to help someone more than he was already helping. In the end, even though shooting him would have been one of the hardest things ever that George would have to go through, it was something that would happen sooner or later, but George helped it come without all of the unwanted and difficult attachments.
