He wanted Lennie to go out happy, thinking of the farm they wanted and the rabbits he would tend to. He was doing it out of the goodness of his heart to allow Lennie to go out in peace, rather than have the others get to him, and have Lennie get scared, hurt, tortured or worse before they killed him. George let him think he would tend to the rabbits to make him feel happier, more secure and have a sense of individuality and responsibility, not to make him panick about getting in trouble. Just as a parent disciplines their child, George had to discipline Lennie, using the rabbits. It was not his fault at all. I do think George was getting tired of the cycle, but he didnt result in killing him because of that. it was because he cared for LennieMarianoreply@blogger.com
