Lord of the flys- analysis
...faced with an enormous dilemma, I will conclude whether George’s actions were morally correct. Firstly, George is extremely reluctant to kill Lennie, but feels it is necessary and for Lennie’s own good. George came to be in that position when Lennie began stroking Curley’s wife’s hair as he has a passion for soft delicate textures that he can pet, Lennie, not knowing his own strength began to hurt her by my roughly mauling her head very firmly, when Lennie sensed Curley’s wife’s panic as she desperately fought him off.

In addition, Lennie was a dangerous person, although not intended, he was a threat to others. Lennie had mental problems, indicating to his name “Lennie Small”, even if his physical structure was huge, his mental ability and brain knowledge was very small, so his last na...
