The character of Abigail is often accused of being one-dimensional. She doesn’t express one shred of remorse the entire time‚ making her seem almost inhumanly diabolical.

One of the ways Steinbeck shows Curley’s Wife as a villain is by portraying her as a tart. In chapter two‚ Candy quotes “Well‚ I think Curley’s married . . . .
