A short summary of this chapter; Lennie and Curley's wife talk in the barn, Lennie starts to playfully stroke Curley's wife's hair after she invites him to. But when Curley's wife tells Lennie to stop, he does not which causes her to panic, Lennie also panics and his fear takes over he loses control and snaps her neck instantly killing her. Lennie runs away afraid. When everyone finds what has happened they plan a man hunt for Lennie and decide that if they see Lennie to shoot him in the stomach so he will have a slow and painful death.
This chapter ties into my theme by displaying how Lennie's mental disabilities make loss his control over his strength. Like most people with mental disabilities they have no control over their true abilities. Another example of my theme in this chapter is how Lennie is instantly amused by something soft, like how a young child is amused by a soft pet, thus proving that Lennie's mental abilities are of a small child.
