His interactions with characters like Lennie highlight themes of power, vulnerability, and the struggle for respect.
Either farm hands, cowboys, or ranch hands
Work is seasonal -
The Boss - The stocky, well-dressed man in charge of the ranch, and Curley's father. He is never named and appears only once, but seems to be a fair-minded man. Candy happily reports that the boss once delivered a gallon of whiskey to the ranch-hands on Christmas Day
strange people
Curly's Wife is mistrusted by her husband, they have no trust or respect for each other which is why Curly's wife cheats on him behind his back with ranch workers to make up for the loneliness she feels their marriage has brought her. So not a very good one if you ask me.
One of the ranch hands
farmers
Depending on the amount of hired hands on the ranch, it is mostly the hired hands' job to look after the cattle, but the rancher himself is also responsible for most of the responsibilities that comes with the ranch including the cattle and the rangeland the cattle are being raised on. Some ranches are only run by the rancher and his wife, so the responsibilities of looking after the cattle fall on these two person's shoulders.
In a garden shed
Curley is the son of the boss of the ranch that Lennie and George go to work on. Curely is pugnacious and is very protective of his wife. Curley ends up getting in a fight with Lennie and gets his hand crushed and wants to kill Lennie for that and for killing his wife. That is who Curley is.
Curley wears a glove filled with Vaseline on his left hand because he lost it in a farming accident. This is to keep the hand soft and protect it from further harm. It also serves as a symbol of Curley's masculinity and power, as he feels insecure about his small stature and wants to assert his dominance on the ranch.
