Of Mice And Men Curley's Wife

In the course of the story, Curley’s wife faces profound conflicts that she needs to conquer in order to persist through her life. To visually represent one of these conflicts, I used a picture of a woman and a man fighting in my collage, which is used to represent Curley and Curley’s wife’s relationship. Curley’s wife only married Curley to get revenge on her mother for stealing the letter that would lead her to fame, or as she thinks so. To visually represent the letter I used a picture in my collage of a letter in an envelope to point out the letter that Curley’s wife was supposed to receive from a man she went to a dance with. The man told her that he would put her in movies and she would become an actress and that he was going to send her a letter. To visually represent this, I placed a picture of an action sign that is used in movies to film in my collage. Curley’s wife never got the letter and she thinks her mom stole it. To get revenge on her mom for doing this, she married Curley. Although she married him, she doesn't actually love him, because Curley controls his wife and treats her like she's nothing. He believes that Curley’s wife is worth less than him because she is a woman and makes her stay at home because he doesn't think she is worth enough to be on the ranch. “Ranch with a bunch of guys on it ain't no place for a girl, ‘specially like her” (Steinbeck 51). George states this because him and the rest of the men

Despite being the only female on a ranch full of foul-mouthed men, Curley’s wife exploits both her sexuality and her status to demonstrate power throughout the novel. For example, calmly responding to the attempts of Curley’s wife framing Crooks, Candy responded, “If you was to do that, we’d tell,” he said quietly. “We’d tell about you framin’ Crooks.” “Tell an’ be ---,” she cried. “Nobody’d listen to you an’ you know it. Nobody’d listen to you.”(81). In this situation, Curley’s wife has a strong effect on the migrant workers when she used the threat of Crooks and Candy being disregarded. “Candy subsided. “No…” he agreed.” Nobody’d listen to us” (81). In other words, at this point Candy realizes that Curley’s wife is much more powerful

In the passage the first words that Steinbeck uses are that “Both men glanced up,” and through this we are introduced to Curley’s wife through her effect on men and not through any notion of herself, which Steinbeck does to show us she is only worthy for the use of men. Not so long after in the sentence we are told “the rectangle of sunshine in the doorway way cut off.” Here, Steinbeck uses the light symbolically to highlight how imposing she is and present the idea that she is the obstacle to a better life. It soon becomes

A setting of vital importance in the novel ‘Of Mice and Men’ by John Steinbeck is the Great Depression of the nineteen thirties. It describes the story of two companions working on a ranch in California. John Steinbeck, was born and raised in rural California near where the story is set and when he was young he worked on a ranch enabling him to draw on his own experiences of ranch life and the types of people that worked on ranches. All the characters in the story have many features common to people who lived during the Depression further improving the believability of the characters.

“‘Ain’t I got a right to talk to nobody?’”, states Curley’s wife (87). This quote reflects a lot on what times were like back in the 1930’s. The story Of Mice and Men is an amazingly written story showing fictional examples that happened during the Great Depression. In the book Of Mice and Men the characters Lennie, Crooks, and Curley’s wife are facing discrimination almost everyday. Whether it’s about race, gender, being a cripple, or mental health, at least one of them have gone through these tough struggles.

Curley's wife is greatly misunderstood by the ranchers on the ranch. They talk among themselves and call her mean words like a tramp. The guys think because she's a girl and Curley's wife, that she just is trying to get the ranchers to do bad things with her. Mostly they think this because, of the way she walks around the ranch all dressed up and looking pretty. They don't realize that she dresses up for herself to make her feel better not for the pleasure of the men. A girl in they're time is suppose to sit inside all day, make dinner, and watch the children, but she doesn't want to be ordinary she wants to stand out. She is being stereotyped by everyone on the ranch including her own husband Curley. We learned that she could have went to

In the book of Of Mice and Men, Curley's wife represents many things. She represents how women were treated in that time period and how women were considered trophies and property. This is emphasized in the novel because, she was referred as Curley’s wife, and she wasn’t even given a name in the book to identify who she was. In the novel Of Mice and Men, the character Curley’s wife represents how women were treated and how they didn’t have much or any respect at all; even though Curley’s wife has been considered a “whore” because how she dressed and how she wore too much makeup, she only did that to get another man's attention because how lonely she was since Curly didn’t give her the attention she needed and one can see that easily in film form

In the Story Of Mice and Men George and Lennie arrived at the ranch to work. While talking with the boss and getting to know each other George didn’t let Lennie talk. He would ask Lennie a question and George would answer for him. This made the boss a bit suspicious, and warned “I have my eye on you.” The Boss doesn’t trust them he thinks they are hiding something from him and he’s just waiting for them to mess up. This is a problem because Lennie isn’t very smart. He already messed up in weed and I can predict that they are going to have problems at that ranch as well. The character Curley is a very important person in this story. He is the son of the boss, and he dislikes Lennie. Curley is a fighter, but he does not like his height. He wants

Steinbeck’s use of women in the book shows how women were misunderstood and seen as less than men. Throughout the book, they only call her “curley’s wife”. They also seem to ask why she is never with her husband or at home doing her chores. This proves that she is rather seen as a stereotype and a possession calling her “Curley’s”. Many men and even women, believed that women are men’s property, believing her as the husbands rather than her having her own freedom, making her own proper decisions.

Oftentimes in Of Mice and Men, Curley’s wife is shown to be on the ranch either looking for Curley, or for someone to talk to. She will try to engage the other ranchers in conversation, and it is implicit that she is unwilling to give up on trying conversing with someone, no matter if they disrespect her or if she gets frustrated over it. Although she will come off as stubborn and blunt when they refuse conversation with her, she is just lonely. Curley’s wife’s lack of being unmotivated from making attempts at starting a conversation with any ranch-hands in

The story starts off with two men by the names of George Milton and Lennie Small and their desires of owning their own ranch. George makes all the decisions and cares for Lennie, a tall and huge mentally disabled man. Until they earn enough money to buy their own land, George and Lennie head to a nearby ranch in search of employment. They end up living and working on this ranch alongside, Curley and his wife, Slim, and Candy. Lennie has a fondness for soft things and likes to pet and touch them. However, he is unaware of his strength and accidentally kills several mice, a puppy, and eventually Curley's wife. Fearing that Curley would harm Lennie in a brutal manner, George shoots and kills Lennie

In Of Mice And Men Curley's wife is the most hopeless and miserable character in the story. She has no future as she is stuck with her former husband (Curley) who hates her leaving his sight, she has no friends as she is the only woman on the ranch and Curley will not allow her socialize with the men because he feels that they would steal her, and she has no respect from anyone on the ranch because why should they; She gets the men in trouble just by looking at them because well lets face it she's made out to be a "whore" who is stunningly beautiful, why wouldn't you look; she doesn't even withhold a name (which isn't even mentioned within the story) She is just known as Curleys wife because she is his possession, his property. I truly feel

George, Lennie and Curley's Wife all share the same theme with each other which is responsibility and we will be talking about how they are all related to responsibility. In Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck George and Lennie have a tough life and go into town to get a job so they can start their life on a farm, so it's been tough for them lately. George is the best friend of Lennie and lennie is mentally unstable so george has to keep an eye on him and lennie gets into a bit of trouble throughout the book.

I had quite some trouble talking in the first person. I took Candy as a character (no reason why) but it’s hard not to talk in the third person. I used a lot of I and We even though I was tempted to use he and they. I took these six subjects because I thought they were all important but they were important in different ways; the dead of Candy’s dog is important because his dog was everything he had, the eavesdropping is important because during that time he decided to participate with George and Lennie’s dream, the talk about the rabbits is important because Candy thinks a lot about their new dream farm and has all kind of ideas he needs to share, the part where Curley’s wife came is important because during that time he decides he cares about
