Useless‚ pathetic‚ meaningless. Admittedly‚ Curley’s wife was right. I hate it. Bashing me on why I shouldn’t bother joining in with that small minded Lennie and that damn George on their ranch.

Steinbeck has presented her in this way through the words of candy‚ this shows that she was looked down upon by the men of the ranch and was victimised. I feel that Steinbeck has presented Curley’s wife in this way to represent how woman in the 1930’s were victimised and treated. Steinbeck presents Curley’s
