Of Mice and Men I believe that two of the most important characters in Of Mice and Men are Crooks and Curley’s Wife. This is because they do not just play a vital role in the œstoryline but they tell the audience so much about the society in which the book is set‚ how they were treated and the attitudes of other towards them.

The description of her is an independent‚ strong woman. She became
