Of mice and men

Analysing the character of Curley’s wife in the “of mice and men book” will be done by assuming two prospective that can agree or not.

Curley’s wife First opinion

Curley’s wife gave me the impression of a person that likes to play around with men too much for her conditions.

In fact she is already married but it seems that it does not make a big difference to her as pulling the strings with the other workers seems her favourite hobby.

We first met her or at least had a description of her character on page 49 when George was talking with the cleaner.

From the cleaner’s observation it seems that Mrs Curley after two weeks of marriage stared playing around with the workers in the place without a lot of discretion, which is why she managed to create a certain reputation between them.

They all think the same thing, which is that she is a horny wife who is never satisfied with she has got.

We can see this from the way in which the cleaner talks, it seems as if he is not the only one who has noticed. The cleaner will also say that he saw her giving a certain eye to Slim the jerk-line skinner as well as Carlson.

Always by following what he said in page 50 it would look like the husband knows nothing about the whole story as the enormous amount of work that he has ...
