George shouldn’t have killed Lennie, they are best friends and I think that if George didn’t kill Lennie he could’ve went to jail and not died.

If they were truly best friends then they would’ve just ran away because I believe they had enough time. In conclusion, I think that George shouldn’t have killed Lennie because there were tons of ways they could’ve escaped. It said in the book that George told them to go the opposite way as
