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.

Curly doesn't like Lennie because he is jealous of Lennie's size and strength, which threaten Curly's own sense of power and authority on the ranch. Curly is also protective of his wife, who Lennie inadvertently scared, which adds to his hostility towards Lennie.
