In John Steinbeck's novel "Of Mice and Men," Curley's wife is referred to as a "looloo" by the other characters because she is seen as flirtatious and attention-seeking. The term "looloo" is slang for a seductive or alluring woman. It reflects the men's perception of her as someone who is provocative and trouble-causing, rather than as a person with her own desires and struggles.
