Of Mice and Men - "The Best Laid Plans...:

At the conclusion of a well-written story, the reader comes away with two feelings, even if those feelings seem to contradict each other:

1.) The ending was exactly what one would have expected, given the characters and the situation.

2.) The ending was surprising, a fist in the gut that leaves you breathless.

Now that you have read part 6, what do you think about the ending of Of Mice and Men? Were you surprised? Do you believe that George behaved in a way that fit his character as we have seen it throughout the book? Did George do the right thing for Lennie?
