Curley S Wife Do You Dislike Her Or Feel Sorry For Her
Curley’s Wife – do you dislike her or feel sorry for her?
Dislike her:
We should dislike CW because she is horrible to other people, especially those who are weaker than her. “what am I doing standing her with a dumb-dumb, a nigger…” For example, she says to Crooks “you know what I can do to you if you open your trap.” which shows her using her power against him as she has the power to get him hung.. When she tells him to get back into his place she is reminding him of how low he is because he is black. He is less important than a white woman.

Curley’s Wife – do you dislike her or feel sorry for her?
We should dislike CW because she is a bad influence on people : “I never seen such a bad piece of jailbait as her.” This is shown when she stands provocatively against the door and Lennie stares at her despite being told by George not to talk to her. And she goes to
Lennie to stroke her hair and starts shouting at him to stop which panics him and he kills her. This gets Lennie into lots of trouble – and she caused it.
Plus, everyone else in the books portrays her as a bad person before we meet her: “I think Curley’s married a tart.” so they must be right, especially because her appearance and behaviour backs up what they think as soon as we meet her: “she put her hands behind her back and leaned against the door frame so that her body was
By 11y/En1 thrown forward.”

Curley’s Wife – do you dislike her or feel sorry for her?
We also dislike her because she dresses inappropriately for everyday life on a ranch: “cotton house dress, red mules, heavily made up, her fingernails were red.” Its like she is trying to use her appearance as a weapon to hurt Curley because he’s horrible to her; she tries to make him jealous by dressing attractively. If she was committed to
Curley and her marriage she would dress like a housewife and cover up. She also flirts with all the men: ” its like she can’t stay away from them” and “gives them the eye”. This causes us to

    Although the film Of Mice and Men directed by Gary Sinise is based off the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, the film has some differences that shifts the readers/viewers opinion of the characters in a different way. Curley’s wife is looked at in a different perspective by the viewers in the film by the senses that were added and deleted from the novel. In the book the reader sees her as mean and full of herself but in the film Curley’s wife doesn’t seem mean she appears like she is looking for attention and wanting to feel recognized. In the story, as Lennie, Crooks, and Candy were talking about the dream, Curley’s wife comes in and says to Crooks, “‘Well, you keep your place then, Nigger.

    Curley's wife is aware of the power of her attractiveness and aims to use it to her advantage: she always dresses in "red" and is "heavily made out". We might interpret this unflatteringly and as evidence of her promiscuous status, as she has no reason to be so dressed up on a ranch; equally, as the colour red represents both lust and danger, the latter being apt foreshadowing for later events in the story.…
