i think they're similar because they are both second class / second rate
and they dont get equal rights and respect
curley's wife doesnt get much respect as she's a woman and men were inferior in the 1930's
crooks doesnt get equal rights as he's a black man and america was racist back then
to see who was talking with him and to flirt, ...obviously
she could get crooks strung up on a tree. she could make crooks loose his job.

Crooks is a black stable hand who faces racial discrimination on the ranch, while Curley's wife is a white woman who struggles with loneliness and isolation. Crooks holds a position of authority in the stable, while Curley's wife is seen as a troublemaker by the other men on the ranch.
In John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men," Curley's wife enters the barn where Crooks, Lennie, and Candy are in Chapter 4. The scene explores the characters' loneliness and dreams, highlighting the pervasive themes of isolation and longing in the novella.
Crooks originally wanted Curley's wife to leave because he was afraid of getting in trouble for talking to her. However, after she opened up to him about her own loneliness and struggles, he empathized with her and felt a shared connection through their mutual experiences of discrimination and ostracism on the ranch.
