George also wants Lennie to ignore Curley's Wife, because he knows Curley, their bosses' son, doesn't like Lennie at all. Curley doesn't like him, because he has a problem with "big guys", like Lennie. Curley keeps getting upset with George, because he usually speaks for Lennie. If Curley makes Lennie speak he could say something he isn't supposed. I predict that Curley will pressure Lennie into speaking, then Lennie will say something wrong. If Lennie can't control himself, he could cost him his and George's job.

Curley and Curley's Wife- Relationship to Others
Curley's Wife is not considered as an important character in Of Mice and Men, because the author, John Steinbeck, doesn't even give Curley's Wife her own name. This shows how women were treated in the time period this novel was written, with less respect than men. Curley's wife was depicted as a very attractive woman who was attracted to more than one man. Curley's wife is married to Curley, but apparently she is attracted to Slim. George doesn't like Curly's Wife, because of this. He also tries to get Lennie to ignore Curley's Wife, but Lennie is not completely doing what George wants.

This is so good, I think that women should have been more respected back when this book was written. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI didn't really pay much attention to Curley's wife. Now that you are talking about her, I remember more and completely agree with you! I don't really like her... I believe that Lennie not doing what George wants may lead to something bad... I'm not too sure yet though.
