Who is Curley wife supposedly having an affair with?

Answer 1

No (it is unlikely), Curley picks fights with other people who he does not like because he thinks that it will earn him respect from others on the ranch. However in the novel there is no reference to him beating his wife but I believe Curley has the potential to.

Answer 2

No. In fact, she comes right out and says that she does not like him. She marries Curley to get back at her mother, who she suspects ruined her chance to get into Hollywood. She regrets her decision to marry Curley from the beginning (They've only been married for two weeks when the story takes place.).

Answer 3

In John Steinbeck's novel "Of Mice and Men," Curley's wife is believed to be having an affair with Slim, one of the ranch workers. Although there is no concrete evidence of an affair, Slim's close relationship with Curley's wife and his respected position on the ranch lead others to speculate about their involvement.

Answer 4

Jealous Curly suspects Slim of sleeping with his wife.

Answer 5

Slim
