Realizing they can’t run away anymore, George is faced with a moral question: How should he deal with Lennie before the ranchers find him and take matters into their own hands? George, now worried about his own safety, knows exactly where Lennie has gone to hide, and he meets him there. But when a tragedy occurs on the ranch, it’s obvious that Lennie, albeit accidentally, is to blame.
