On one hand, he promised to care for Lennie, whereas on the other hand, he could live a simpler life without him. This gets resolved by George ultimately ending Lennie's life. George's external conflict is the lack of resources to fund the farm. Him and Lennie have a dream of a farmland with rabbits and farm animals, but lack the funding, and this is concluded by George giving up on the idea of owning a farm after Lennie dies.

"You an' me can get that little place, can't we, George?

You an' me can go there an' live nice, can't we, George? Can't we?"

Before George answered, Candy dropped his head and looked down at the hay. He knew. George said softly, "-I think I knowed from the very first. I think I know'd we'd never do her. He usta like to hear about it so much I got to thinking maybe we would." "Then- it's all off?" Candy asked sulkily."

I shouldn't oughtta of let no stranger shoot my dog" This quote from candy is fore shadowing the ending to the book where George kills Lenny, because it shows the theme of mercy for Lenny and the dog where as the dog was old and Lenny had a disability.

He was already gonna be killed by curly. The way George sat down with him and reassured him that he wasn't mad and that everything was gonna be okay, even though that was a very hard decision for George, was much better than the way Curly was gonna go about the situation.

Had George not killed Lennie in that moment, he would've suffered by the hand of Curley or have been thrown in a cell his whole life.
