- We never really get a glimpse of Curley's wife's genuine personality because it is tainted by either being prevented from speaking and socialising with people
- She is introduced as a tart: "I seen her give Slim the eye"
- She is a lonely character, and is only described as beautiful when she is dead
|
- She is the wife of Curley, supposed to stay at home and be at Curley's side
- They constantly look for eachother when on the ranch, shows that they aren't really in sync in the marriage and there is no real connection between them

- Curley's wife represents women during the 1930's, shunned as a "tart," Curley's Wife is lonely and looking for someone to talk to.
- Represents the unjust treatment towards women
|
- She has no name at any point in the novel, this takes away her identity as a person and leaves her as a possession of Curley rather than her own individual person
- She wears red during the book which connotes danger and foreshadows that there may be trouble ahead in the book as the girl Lennie tried to touch the dress of in Weed was wearing red
