In what way are women represented in the novel? |
The men assume that Curley's wife is a trouble maker. Most people dislike her but technically she never does anything wrong besides threaten Crooks. Curley doesn't understand his wife's needs. He thinks that having a soft hand and putting it to use is all she wants, which is untrue. Both sexes undermine and stereotype the other. |
