Euthanasia can be defined as “the painless killing of a patient suffering from an incurable and painful disease or irreversible coma”, and the practice also happens to be illegal in most countries. Euthanasia takes on an important role in the novel “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck, as it displays why the character, George, was justified in shooting Lennie.

But there seemed to be a change after she married Mr. Wright; Minnie Foster seemed to die and the shell of what remained was left as Mrs. Wright.…
