Ending of OMAM - Lennie killed by his best friend

George kills Lennie! Then again, this shows a great example of how everyone ended up being lonely in some way at the time. George always had Lennie as someone to talk to, and therefore, he was never lonely. He was consistently there for Lennie, even with his mental disability. After Lennie accidentally killed Curley’s wife by not knowing his own strength, Curley immediately went after him to get 'revenge'. George, knowing that the worst was yet to come, did the job for Curley. But George was gentle, which I am very happy about. He started talking to Lennie about how they were going to have a ranch and Lennie could tend the rabbits. Soon enough he started moving slowly from the ranch to the afterlife. “Ever'body gonna be nice to you.  Ain't gonna be no more trouble.  Nobody gonna hurt nobody nor steal from you” (Steinbeck 103). He was making Lennie happy before his death, but at the same time, he was reassuring himself that he was going to go to a better place. Finally, George shoots Lennie. He gets rid of his best friend, and no longer has anyone to talk to or be with. He understands the true feeling that is loneliness. He learns that loneliness can be one of the worst feelings in the world and that this lonesomeness is what everybody else had been feeling since who knows when. This gave me the feels and I am honestly very happy with the ending of Of Mice And Men.
