The passage from Qur’an underlines privileges of those who will follow the guidelines.

The novel “Of Mice and Men” has a tragic ending which raises a number of ethical issues. In this respect, the question whether George did the right thing for Lennie or not remains unanswered. In fact, each reader can have his own view on this question, but, in all probability, George had good intentions while helping his friend to die. In actuality, Lennie did not have a choice whether to live or die, he rather had a choice of how to die and George took decision for Lennie and shot him. Obviously, George understood that the death is inevitable for Lennie, but he wanted to ease the last minutes of his friend’s life. Hence, he decided to shoot him dead and die in the matter of seconds, instead of being lynched by the outraged crowd that was likely to kill Lennie slowly and painfully. In such a context, motives of George’s act are obvious.
