Compare And Contrast Crooks Wife And Curley's Wife

In Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, there are two characters that rarely get to speak to the others on the farm they live on. 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). While on one hand she is looking for her husband to talk to, she is also using this as an excuse to have some human interaction. She is so lonely that she has to come up with an excuse to talk to someone.
