Curley's Wife
On part 2, Of Mice and Men many new characters were mentioned, but the one that stood out to me most was Curly's Wife. John Steinbeck described her by saying, "She had full, rouged lips and wide-spaced eyes, heavily made up, her fingernails were red. Her hair hung in little rolled clusters, like sausages. She wore a cotton dress and red mules. . ." (31). When Curly's wife showed up I noticed that again George and Lennie acted in completely opposite ways. When she walked in Lennie seemed head over heals for her, while George seemed annoyed that she was there. I predict that Lennie will tell George how much he likes Curly's wife, and Curly will overhear them.

I never thought about that! I now think that Curley will over hear Lennie and he will use his wife as a decoy to get what he wants from Lennie
ReplyDeleteI also noticed that George and Lennie acted in the exact opposite way when Curley's wife was throwing herself at them. While, Lennie was extremely smitten, George was almost angry that she was in the barracks. I only disagree with you a little at the foreshadowing part because George has already told Lennie to stay away from her. I think that Lennie will forget what George told him and still be really attracted to Curley and will eventually tick him off because of his attraction to Curley's wife.
