Oral Presentation 1/2
Alien, created by Dan O'Bannon, H.R. Giger and Ridley Scott.
the Necronomicon
- they wanted to create a monster unlike the others.
- it was created because they needed a monster that would scare people.
Today we finished reading section 6, and therefore, the novel. After Lennie had killed Curley's wife, he went to the brush. There, he hallucinated and started talking with his late Aunt Clara and a gigantic rabbit. He finally met with George. One last time, he wanted to hear the story of their dream farm, and George shot him in the back.
Someone had to die.
Lennie would have died anyway.
In Oedipus' story, everything, every moves of the hero is predestined, he has no choice. Right in the end, his only free action is when he blinds himself.
Here, the question is: "Did George have a choice? Could he avoid killing his friend Lennie?"
By the end, George knows that section 6 can be much longer than it is, that Lennie will suffer if he falls in Curley's hands. He refuses that end, that Fate for Lennie, so he decides to kill him himself, out of compassion and love. But by doing so, he also realizes that he will be forever alone from now on, and that he needed Lennie just as much as Lennie needed him. The novel ends here, leaving George in utter (total) oblivion (forgetfulness).
