In the novel Of Mice and Men,
Curley's wife does not relate well to the themes in the novel. She does not desire the
lonely life she lives. She does not enjoy the isolation. She has always desired the more
exciting life. She dreams of acting. She dwells on the past when she was observed by
some who thought she could make it acting:
But she is pathetically lonely and once had
dreams of being a movie
star.
The ranch hands are
gone all day working. They play games at night. Curley's wife feels left out. She
obviously desires companionship. She has no interaction with
society.
She lives out on the ranch, away from women her
age. She is all alone on the ranch. She feels alienated from society. She has no one to
confide in. She is basically without a friend.
For this
reason, she reaches out to the field hands. She has no choice but to talk with Lennie.
She uses him to get the attention she is so desperate for. Because she played with
Lennie's emotions, she winds up with a broken neck. It was an
accident.
