Curleys Wife

Curleys Wife is the only female on the ranch. Left lonely as the only person she can talk to is her husband who she does not like. She has her own american dream of being a dancer but gave up the oppertunity when she married. She flirts with the workers just for company. Wears pretty dresses and has soft hair (Lennie touches her hair, becomes obsessed and kills her). She is very vain and this could be one of the main factors which leads her to her death. She craves attention so much that she doesnt think of the consequences which come from her actions.
