Lennie's living and working conditions get worse. The reason why this happens is that he has to run away, because he has killed Curley's wife. He can't sleep in the bunk house anymore, instead he has to flee from the farm where he works, because Curley wants to take revenge for her death and lynch him. Without George, he won't be able to find a new job.
