Curley is a pugnacious character with a Napoleon Complex--that is, he is a little man who hates big men. This is obvious to the characters of Of Mice and Men, and Curley's wife realizes this as well. She regrets having married Curley, recognizing that he simply is not a respectable man.
George. After Lennie accidentally killed Curleys wife and went to hide in the brush (a place where George and Lennie agreed to meet in case of trouble) Curley and the guys set out to kill Lennie for what he did. George, not wanting Lennie to die like that, told Lennie the story of the house they planned on having. while telling Lennie he shot him in the back of the head.
In section five, you find out that Curley's wife is not unlike Lennie in the sense that they both have dreams of their own, except Curley's wife's dreams had the chance to come true, but they didn't. You also learn that she is very lonely as she is left all alone on the ranch all day everyday and really just wants someone to talk to. You learn about both of these things when she is having a conversation with Lennie in the barn, not long before she is actually killed by Lennie himself.
In the story "Of Mice and Men," George promises Lennie a career in motion pictures. He often tells Lennie about the dream of owning a piece of land and living off the fruits of their own labor, which includes Lennie getting to tend the rabbits and having a small part in the movies.
In 'Of Mice and Men' chapter three will only take a few munutes to read. Halfway through the chapter Curley comes on the scene, looking for his wife. He thinks she is in the men's mess room. She isn't there. Noticing that Slim is also not there, he asks where Slim is. It looks as if Curley thinks that Slim is with his wife in the barn. Curley rushes out to the barn. However, Lennie tells the men in the room that Curley's wife is not in the barn. Slim returns, acccompanied by Curley. Slim is very annoyed that Curley keeps asking him if he's been keeping keeping company with his (Curley's) wife. Curley apologises. A fight breaks out. Curley gets hurt, but is made to promises not to tell anyone, because it was he (Curley) that started it. Apart from this information, from the information in chapter three we know no more about Curley's thoughts. But we can guess!
Curley's wife talks to Lennie in the barn because she is lonely and seeking companionship. She enjoys having someone to talk to and Lennie's innocent and childlike nature makes him an easy target for her to engage with. However, this interaction ultimately leads to tragic consequences.
So that way she and Lennie could have a chance to talk in the Barn, without having Curley come and take her away. She's lonely throughout the whole novel and just wants someone to talk to.
they started working. they made of couple of friends. just as things started to clear up, a suspicous woman with no name cam up. she was curley's wife and she was trouble. she started talking to lennie alone one dayand started pushing his buttons. it wasn't in lennie's control, and he started shaking her rapidly. because of lennie's strength, he did kill Curley's wife. wHEN CURLEY AND THE OTHERS INCLUDING gEORGE FOUND OUT, THEY IMMEDIATELY KNEW IT WAS LENNIE AND WENT AFTER HIM. George knew if they had found him, they would either hang him or sent him to a mental institution. both were pure torture, so slowly while explaining the "tending to the rabbits" story to lennie, George shot him.
power is presented in different ways; intellectual, physical and social are the main ones. George has intellectual power because hes able to control Lennie and tel him what to do. Slim also has intellectual power because everybody on the ranch listens to him and does what he says, including Curley; the boss' son. Curley has social power because he's white and the boss' son. Curley's wife also has power but its only because she's married to Curley and she's white.
Curley's wife represents the loneliness of all the characters on the ranch. Even though she has a husband, she feels empty inside and feels very alone which suggests why she always hangs around the other men at the ranch. She doesn't necessarily try to talk to the men to start trouble but she just wants someone to talk to and who will listen which is why she especially takes an interest in Lennie.
