In my opinion, George lost all hope of a better future when he found out they weren’t getting the piece of land. Their only escape from the cruel world was that, and when that failed, they didn’t have another plan. The closest thing where Lennie would be safe and couldn’t cause trouble was jail. If they had been able to be given the land; George would’ve been able to protect Lennie. In my point of view, the grounds is what held their friendship
