Theme Analysis

 Scan through the last chapter (6) in Of Mice and Men and see if you can pull out a moment from the text that, upon close reading, says something about your selected theme.

Next, try to analyze how this moment is somehow connected to the theme you have chosen.  

"You hadda, George. I swear you hadda."

The power displayed here was intense because George just killed Lennie and it showed the kind of will power to do something like that. He had to kill his friend not for selfish reasons but because he wanted to spare him the torture he would have received. He was so strong to make that decision that ended someones life.  If he was powerless then Lennie could have been tortured.
