Who Was Responsible For Lennie's Death

BANG! Lennie hits the ground with a bullet in the back of his head. All of this could have been avoided if Lennie never had the dream of tending the rabbis on a arm with George. Lennie's dream of tending to the rabbits made him obedient to george and it caused his death. Our dream can drive us to do whatever we want.

His one dream was the one thing that intagated his killing and his death. Dreams can drive us to do anything weather its good or bad. Everyone's end result will be
