She has no one to talk to and nobody who shares similar interests. She also has no practical skills for ranch life. Curley’s wife remains nameless throughout the entire novella. This goes to show that she is unimportant to the ranch hands and that they do not have a desire to get to know her well enough to know her name. George said, “Jesus what a tramp, so that’s what Curley picks for a wife” (35). Curley’s wife is only lonely because she has a terrible husband that always mistreats her. She asks Crooks and Candy, “Think I’m gonna stay in that two-by-four house and listen how Curley’s gonna lead with his left twict, and then bring in the ol’ right cross?” (78). Even though she wants them to think and wants to convince herself that she would leave Curley if the opportunity afforded itself, she knows that that will not happen. She is afraid to leave, and the only people she says this to are the other weak
