You never learn the name of Curley¡¦s wife, which shows how she is thought of in the farm. I think she is regarded as one of Curley¡¦s possessions. She is always heavily made up and sometimes dressed up. She mostly wears sexy clothes, which attracts the farm workers. ¡¥She had full rouged lips and wide-spaced eyes, heavily made up. Her finger-nails were red. Her hair hung in little rolled clusters, like sausages.¡¦ I think that all of this shows that she spends a lot of time on her own and that she doesn't go out much. But when she does go out of the house to talk to ranch workers she tries to make an impression by using make-up etc. ¡§She¡¦s purty,¡¨ said Lennie, ¡§Yeah and she¡¦s sure hidin¡¦ it.¡¨ George says sarcastically. George means that Curley¡¦

The most lonely character in the whole book. Where Curley¡¦s wife had Curley and Curley had his wife Crooks has no one. No one to speak to, no one to be with, no one to converse with and no one to keep him from going mad. He was completely alone. Because of this he didn¡¦t know what was right and what was wrong. He even tries to explain this himself. He can¡¦t tell if he¡¦s dreamed something or not and he doesn¡¦t know how to behave around other guys.

Curley¡¦s wife is seen by some as ¡§jail-bait¡¨. This means she is very provocative, she dresses herself up to attract some ranch workers and then Curley would duff them up or get them canned. This is not what necessarily happens but it is what all the workers believe what will happen is they do anything to her. This is why George warns Lennie away from Curley's wife. ¡§Don¡¦t you even take a look at that bitch. I don¡¦t care what she says and what she does ¡K I never seen a piece of jail-bait worse than her. You leave her be.¡¨ George warns Lennie away just in case he gets to close to her and Curley gets annoyed and starts a fight with him.

I think that she is very lonely. As she is the only woman on the ranch she has no one to talk or gossip to. She tries to talk to some of the workers but they are scared of what Curley would do to them. This definitely adds to her loneliness.
