P2 blog Curley's wife

Of the new characters that were introduced in part two, Curley's wife stands out the most. I think that Curley's wife stands out the most because she is described differently, doesn't have a name, and she is the only woman on the ranch. Curley's wife is described as "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 house dress and red mules, on the insteps of which were little bouquets of red ostrich feathers...Her voice had a nasal, brittle quality" (Steinbeck 31). I think she is described as pretty and fancy, unlike the other characters, who wore blue jeans and a denim jacket. Also she stands out because she tries to attract the men's attention, unlike then men that just don't care. Curley's wife was only mentioned as Curley's wife instead using an actual name. I don't think we ever will learn her name throughout the book. Curley's wife also is the only woman on the ranch. That stands out a lot! Curley's wife stands out the most.
