Curley’s wife is always looking for Curley‚ as he is the only person she is supposed to talk to. She repeatedly asks the men‚ “Any of you boys seen Curley?” (Steinbeck 76). While on one hand she is looking for her husband to talk to‚ she is also using this as an excuse to have some human interaction. She is so lonely that she has to come up with
