Reaction Between John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

The reaction of George to the death of Curley’s wife was the decision to capture and lock up Lennie, for there wasn’t a way out of the situation. I presume that their friendship was held together by the idea of their own piece of land. When George saw Curley’s wife dead body laying on the floor, he automatically knew who had caused it. “Candy said, “What done it?” George looked coldly at him. “Ain’t you got any idear?” he asked.” Candy asked him what were they going to do. His response shocked me since I thought George was all about protecting Lennie. “George was a long time in answering. “Guess . . . we gotta tell the . . . guys. I guess we gotta get ’im an’ lock ’im up. We can’t let ’im get away.”.” From his perspective there wasn’t a way out.
They got to bring him in, I guess. They ain’t no way out.” He wasn’t wrong, there isn’t actually a way out of the mess Lennie had caused. They had nowhere else to run away to. Lennie fueled George’s hope of accomplishing the acquirement of a little place. “He usta like to hear about it so much I got thinking maybe we would.” Sadly, they were unable to obtain it. In my opinion, George lost all hope of a better future when he found out they weren’t getting the piece of land. Their only escape from the cruel world was that, and when that failed, they didn’t have another plan. The closest thing where Lennie would be safe and couldn’t cause trouble was jail. If they had been able to be given the land; George would’ve been able to protect Lennie. In my point of view, the grounds is what held their friendship
