Lennie Didn't Mean it (part 3, second half)

In the second part of part 3, Curly's "fist was swinging" (pg. 63) and "the next minute Curly was flopping like a fish on a line, and his closed fist was lost in Lennie's big hand" (63). Lennie didn't mean to harm anyone and he didn't realized his own strength. He was almost confused after what he had done, "Lennie watched in terror" (63), he obliviously didn't know how hurt Curly would get and afterwards he didn't know what to do, even though George was trying to get him to let go of Curly. I think that later in the book Lennie's physical strength will get him and others in a lot of trouble, and him and George would have a bad reputation and no ranch would take them in in the future. I think that something similar could happen again.
