What do you think of Curley and the way he is presented in the novel?
Curley is portrayed in the novel as a pessimistic character through his violent actions. Especially the fight he has with the most innocent character of them all Lennie. Steinbeck uses Curley as a target to George when he fights with Lennie. Although Curley is marred to his wife it is evident that she doesn't have a name showing how Steinbeck uses her name as a type of possession to Curley. Curley initially has no power in the novel at all as his so called characteristics are outdone once slim is introduced to the novel showing how Steinbeck uses slim to foreshadow what Curley is really meant to be like. Curley is extremely arrogant especially the way he is introduced in the novel. the character himself bosses son is evil which shows how curley is presented badly in the novel.
