'And George raised the gun and steadied it, and he brought the muzzle of it close to the back of Lennie's head... He pulled the trigger.'
What metaphor has Steinbeck presented with regard to Candy and his dog, and George and Lennie?

The two deaths have a parallel, as George uses the same method to shoot Lennie as Calrson did to Candy's dog. They also relate as Candy's dog was his only source of company, and Lennie was Georgre's only company, both of which they have to let go. George and Candy both don't want to shoot them, but they know its for the better, with Candy's dog out of pain and Lennie saved from the cruel hands of Curley.

It is also that neither of them knew that they were about to get shot, so it made both Lennie and Candy's dog peaceful and at ease. |

The deaths are alike, although they didn't want to shoot them they had to so that they don't suffer a greater death.

In a way Carlson killing Candy's dog symbolises that when George kill's Lennie that it was for a reason because Curley would have killed him brutally for killing his wife.

What metaphor has Steinbeck presented with regard to Candy and his dog, and George and Lennie? George shot Lennie in the back of the head which is the same way Candy's dog got shot in the back of the head by Carlson. |
