Section 6

Chapter 6

Lennie is waiting in the place where he and George slept, before they started to work at the ranch. He is waiting for George. In his head he imagines his aunt Clara, who is angry with him for being such a trouble to George. Then he imagines a giant rabbit, who is laughing at him because he does not know how to look after rabbits. George arrives and tells Lennie he is not mad at him. The voices of the other men can be heard. George knows he has to kill Lennie. He asks Lennie to sit with his back to him; he begins to tell George about their plans for the farm and he shoots him in the back of the head.

The other men arrive, they think Lennie must have stolen Carlson’s gun, which George had shot him with. Slim tells George there was nothing else he could do and he leads him away.
