Writing: The Character of Curley's Wife
Curley's wife is the only women in the ranch, as we learned from the previous chapters, and is not given a name as she is seen as Curley's property. First destined to be an actress as she recounts to Lennie, Candy and Crooks, her chances were taken away by her mother who thought she was too young and she so ended up at the ranch by marrying Curley, concerned in getting away from her opportunity-breaker mother as soon as possible. From this we can already observe her high self-esteem, thinking it was only because of her mother that she didn't end up in acting, not because of her possible lack of great talent.
