Chapter 5 Response

In chapter 5 "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck, Curley's wife dies and Lennie runs away to the riverbed. I think we can blame some of the characters for the tragic events. Firstly, we can blame how Curley's wife acts on Curley. If he were not such a terrible husband, then Curley's wife wouldn't talking to numerous men on the farm, and going into the barn with Lennie alone. We cannot really blame Curley's wife, because her actions are Curley's fault. We cannot blame George or Lennie. We cannot help that Lennie is mentally disabled, or George for leaving Lennie alone in the stables. For the reason that George doubted that Curley's wife would even join Lennie in the barn alone. Even though people have control of their actions, how other people act towards one another have effect on everything you do. The book and movie were very similar in this section. I couldn't spot a huge difference.
