Are George's actions at the end of the novel justified?

At the end of the novel, George's action was influenced by his long - term relationship with Lennie. They had been through a lot together. George couldn't bear to see Lennie face the wrath of the men chasing him. He also knew Lennie's mental state well. So, he made the tough decision to end Lennie's life. It was a decision born out of love, loyalty, and a sense of what was best in a very difficult situation.

At the end of the novel, George's action of shooting Lennie can be seen as both tragic and merciful. On one hand, it's a tragic end for their friendship. But on the other hand, George knew that if Lennie was caught by the angry mob, he would suffer a far worse fate. So in a way, he was sparing Lennie from a more brutal end.

Some might argue that Medea's actions are justified by the extreme betrayal and injustice she faces, driving her to desperate measures.

It's possible. In some fanfictions, authors might explore complex motives for the Dursleys' actions. Maybe they could be under some dark magic influence that makes them act out of character and in a more extreme way. However, this goes against the general perception of the Dursleys in the original series, where they are mainly just cruel and neglectful without such extreme murderous intent.

The wolf's actions can't really be justified. He was trying to break into the pigs' houses and eat them, which is clearly wrong.

For novels, paragraphs are usually left justified. Right justification or full justification can make the text look a bit odd and might disrupt the reading rhythm. It's the simplicity of left alignment that works best for the narrative style of a novel.

I don't think George is a failure. Even if things didn't turn out exactly as planned at the end of the novel, he might have gained valuable experiences and insights that could lead to success in the future.

It could be a mysterious character introduced specifically for this purpose. Sometimes authors surprise us with unexpected sources of comfort to add depth to the story.

It depends. Justification can make the manuscript look more organized and professional, but it's not always necessary.

Well, it's possible. If the context shows that the murder was done to prevent a greater evil or protect someone, it might be seen as justified within the fictional world of the novel. But it's a complex and controversial topic.
