Curley's wife isnt given a name becuase Steibbeck wanted to show back in the 1930s women did not have any sense of authority and seen as possesions

curleys wife is important to the story!

she isnt given a name to show that women had no rights in the 1930's :)

Curley's wife doesn't have a name because she is seen as Curley's possesion and Stienbeck wanted to highlight social attitudes of the role of women in the 1930s (the fact that they had no rights) :)

curlwys wife is important to the story she portrays how men  thought of women back then and is described as jail bail by george which certifies that she will have a bad roll to play later on in the novella. Overall pretty good quiz but need more questions that rack your brains :)
