Curley's Wife Conflict Analysis

The main conflict in the story was when Lennie unintentionally murdered Curley’s wife. I do think when George kills Lennie that the problem was solved. I think the problem was solved because the problem was dealt with and everyone could almost move on. If Lennie were to have been captured he probably would have been tortured to a more extreme and eventually killed. However, I do believe that there are other ways they could have dealt with the situation to were no one else would have been injured.
