Curley makes several descriptive comments to, and about Curley's wife...

* To Curley's wife: '...you got floozy ideas about what us guys amount to. You ain't got sense enough in that chicken head to even see ... ' * About her, after she had slipped away from the men's quarters: 'Jesus Chist, Curley's wife can move quiet. I guess she had a lot of practise though.' * He also refers to her by using an offensive and disrespectful term. * After she is murdered, Candy, looking at her dead body, calls her a no-good tramp etc. and adds, 'You ain't no good now, ... ' * Later, after Curley has come, seen his dead wife's body in the barn, and gone away, Candy squats down in the hay and looks at Curley's wife's face. 'Poor ... ,' he says softly.

The full story is relatively short. You can read it for yourself to fill in any further details you may require.
