Crooks‚ a disabled black stable buck‚ and Curley’s wife‚ the wife of the farm owner’s son. Both characters seem equally lonely on the farm‚ but when you look deeper you can see that Curley’s wife is more lonesome than Crooks. Curley’s wife is always looking for Curley‚ as he is the only person she is supposed to talk to. She repeatedly asks the men‚ “Any of you boys seen Curley?” (Steinbeck 76)
