Curley attacks Lennie out of rage and insecurity. He is a small man who feels threatened by Lennie's size and strength, and he targets Lennie in order to assert his dominance over him and prove his own toughness to the other ranch workers. Curley's aggressive behavior reflects his own feelings of inadequacy and a desire to prove himself.
Curley is first described on page 17 of the novella "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck. He is introduced by the character Candy who warns George and Lennie about Curley's aggressive and confrontational nature.
He wishes to join Lennie and George in "their dream" of buying their own ranch.

The men think Lennie is armed because George tells them that Lennie has a gun. George lies in order to protect Lennie from the other ranch workers who are looking to harm him for accidentally killing Curley's wife.

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.
