" Is killing with love good or bad."

In my opinion, It was good for  George to kill Lennie because in some way he was gonna killed by Curley. One reason that I think it was good is, Geoge didn't want Curly to kill Lennie by being angry to him. He wanted him to die happily. For example, he was talking about their dream just before he killed him which made Lennie happy and die peacefully by knowing that George forgave him. I also think Geoge was satisfied by killing him by himself and not like how Candy felt when Carlson killed his dog.  Another reason is that, George didn't want Lennie to die painfully. In the book, Curley says that he will shoot Lennie at his gut which was the most painful way to die. Thus George shoot Lennie at back of his head just like Carlson done to Candy's dog to make sure that the bullet didn't hurt it. In conclusion, george didn't want Lennie to die being sacred and dieing with pain. Thus, it was a good reason for George to kill Lennie.
