A review by lyakimov
Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
4.0
Okay, well my day was immediately ruined when I read this ending during class. That was soooooo depressing, but I understood it completely.
I already knew what would happen at the end, and I quickly noticed the foreshadowing with Candy and his dog correlating with Lennie and George's story; how he thought he ought to have put the dog down himself because it was HIS dog. Although this was good imagery, it dehumanizes Lennie in a way.
But what the HELLLLLL that was messed up and sad for everyone involved. (Poor Curley's wife who just was a hoe to everyone and didn't even get a name.)
I don't know why this ending affected me so much, it just hit me hard in a way I didn't think it would.
