Curley S Wife Do You Dislike Her Or Feel Sorry For Her
Curley’s Wife – do you dislike her or feel sorry for her?
Dislike her:
We should dislike CW because she is horrible to other people, especially those who are weaker than her. “what am I doing standing her with a dumb-dumb, a nigger…” For example, she says to Crooks “you know what I can do to you if you open your trap.” which shows her using her power against him as she has the power to get him hung.. When she tells him to get back into his place she is reminding him of how low he is because he is black. He is less important than a white woman.

We also dislike her because she dresses inappropriately for everyday life on a ranch: “cotton house dress, red mules, heavily made up, her fingernails were red.” Its like she is trying to use her appearance as a weapon to hurt Curley because he’s horrible to her; she tries to make him jealous by dressing attractively. If she was committed to
Curley and her marriage she would dress like a housewife and cover up. She also flirts with all the men: ” its like she can’t stay away from them” and “gives them the eye”. This causes us to
