When Curly's wife entered Lennie's and saw that the puppy
had died she was not really freaked out. Instead, she just asked what happened to the
pup, to which Lennie said that he petted it too hard and so it died. Prior to this,
Lennie had been alternatively hysterical and non hysterical regarding the death of the
puppy. He couldn't understand why it died, since the puppy was bigger than the mice he
used to pet in the beginning of the story. Therefore, since he does not understand how
it is that he is so strong that he has a capacity to destroy everything he touches, he
nearly blamed the animal himself for dying. He asked him why he died, since he wasn't
too small to not take some petting. Yet, he still was unable to differentiate between
his strength and the feeble nature of the baby animal.
