Loneliness of Curley’s wife Essay

The author never tells us the name of Curleys wife in the novel, which could be for many reasons. E. g. she wasnt tot each(prenominal)y important(p) enough or blush be contract she was a muliebrity. But I think it was because she was regarded as one of Curleys possessions, and because of this everyone appro distressd her with haste. They were all afeared(predicate) of Curley and didnt want any anaesthetise from him so they left her alone. They didnt let the cat out of the bag to her and ignored her most of the time which could later on a while make a person very lonely and retrieve un wanted.She didnt like this so she time-tested to do something about it. She put on attractive clothes, and was heavily made up with full rouged lips and widely lay eyes. Fingernails painted red and hair in little clusters like sausages. Obviously she wanted to attract some attention from the lockers on the farm, she just wanted somebody to visor her. But as in doing this she is label a tart and jailbait. George doesnt resonate past the outer cover when she comes buttocks and sees a woman trying to labor someone arrested or killed, so he strictly warns Lenny to keep a stylus from her.a nonher(prenominal) reason for Curleys wifes loneliness could curb been that she was the only woman on the ranch so she has no other(a) female to gossip to, and all the workforce are ignoring her so she has perfectly nobody on the ranch to yack away with except Curley. Curley isnt a great husband as he regards her in general as a possession and not his wife, and so doesnt treat her all that well. He is one of the main reasons that she feels so unhappy. He forces his wife to stick around at home alone every mean solar day as he forbids her to pull the business firm in fear that she might go and stray off with one of the ranch workers.He himself is not all that incorruptible either as he visits brothels with the other men at the end of the calendar month even though he i s hook up with. She admits to us when chatting with Lenny that she doesnt love Curley. She only married him because of her mother. She had met a film producer that had verbalize he was going to put her in the movies, and when the letter didnt come from him she apprehension her mother had stolen it. So she moved of and married Curley by chance as a way to breed revenge on her mother. Whereas it is more(prenominal) likely that the man wasnt a film producer and probably wanted just to get her to sleep with him.When public lecture with Lenny she also tells him all the things she wanted in her life. She wanted to wear nice clothes, stay in big hotels, have pictures taken of her and to be an actress. She even hinted that she was going to leave Curley someday by saying by chance I will someday when talk about an acting career. Curleys wife seems awfully lonely and gets great pleasure out of talking with Lenny in the barn. She even lets him stroke her hair causing a great ruckus and resultant roleually ahead(p) to her violent death. But it was instantaneous and when sweeten looked at her body he byword that her vitrine was sweet and young.She hadnt a care in the world. All the ache for attention and discontent were gone from her face and she was finally at peace. I in person dont think she is the cause of all the trouble because she was only seek a bit of company. She hardly talked to anyone on the ranch for ages and when she finally gets the chance, you cant blame her for wanting to take it. It maybe is a bit her fault as she let Lenny stroke her hair, but she didnt know what he was going to do when he wouldnt let go and started to panic. She did initially get Lenny killed but I dont think she did it advisedly as she speaks no desire to get herself killed.It is a bit of everybodys fault, if the men had spoken to her she may not have wanted to go into the barn with Lenny and therefore not have been killed. Lenny and Georges day-dream may have came true if Curleys wife had not been killed so in a way this major event changed all of their lives forever. 30/04/2007 Simon Gurney Show poke only The above preview is unformatted text edition This student written piece of work is one of many that can be found in our GCSE John Steinbeck section.
