She was a dreamer that was incapable of grasping her dreams. Being called a tart, the eye and the trap, Curley’s wife is the lone female on a all-male ranch on the Salinas Valley in northern California. The men on the ranch only think of her as an object, never as a real person with feelings. The novella Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck portrays Curley’s wife as powerless and dangerous, using temptation to gain companionship which causes sympathy for the reader.
Curley’s wife is just an object that causes trouble that the Lennie and George want to be kept a distance from. She wears red which is a color that signifies danger which warns people to keep away from her. Steinbeck was portraying that women serve no purpose except causing trouble
