Why does Curley's wife come into the bunkhouse?

Answer 1

In Steinbeck's 'Of Mice and Men', Curley's wife evidently often comes to the men's bunkhouse. She stands in the doorway and enquires "Anyone seen Curley?" So she comes to the bunkhouse to find her husband.

However, although the story in the book indicates that she often comes to the bunkhouse, it doesn't say that she ever actually comes into the bunkhouse.

Answer 2

In the book, Of Mice and Men, Curley's wife comes into the bunkhouse looking for Curley. Curley is the son of the boss. He is a mean-spirited, aggressive man. He picks fights with larger men to compensate for his small stature.

Answer 3

Curley's wife enters the bunkhouse to flirt with the ranch hands and seek attention, as she is lonely and seeking companionship due to her unhappy marriage with Curley. She also enjoys the power she holds over the workers by using her attractiveness to manipulate and control them.

Answer 4

Oh, dude, like, Curley's wife comes into the bunkhouse because she's looking for Curley. I mean, she's probably bored out of her mind wandering around the ranch all day, right? So, she's just trying to find some company or stir up some drama, who knows. But yeah, that's pretty much why she's there, like, looking for Curley or whatever.
