Curley’s wife is the main women character in Steinbeck’s novel of mice and men. In this piece of writing I will be discussing the good and bad about Curley’s wife.

into his novel Of Mice and Men. Steinbeck did exactly this with the development of the character Curley’s wife. She had started the novel as a “tart” or a nuisance of a character‚ but later she turned into an admriable character‚ one that you really feel for.

Curley’s Wife is character that is portrayed by discrimination. In the novel‚ of Mice and Men‚ she is the only character that is a woman and does not have a name. This tells us that during this time‚ women were thought less of and considered less important because back in the 1930s‚ women were discriminated from jobs and had to stay at home and take care of the house on the ranch. On the ranch‚ she is also the only women and she does not have anyone willing to talk to her either. There is not much
