The author, John Steinbeck in his book Of Mice and Men helped my understanding and interpretation of how women were treated in the time that this book was written through the character, Curley 's wife. Women of this time period were lonely, misunderstood and mistreated.
Women in the 1930s were very lonely like Curley 's wife and they tried hard to have friends. For example, "Every time the guys is around she shows up. She 's looking for Curley, or she thought she left something laying around and she 's looking for it. Seems like she can 't keep away from guys." (Steinbeck 51) In this situation, she wants to make friends with the guys, but they don 't like her and they want nothing to do with her. Another example is, "After a pause Crooks said, "maybe you better go along to your own house now: we don 't want no trouble." "Well, I ain 't giving you no trouble. Think I don 't like to talk to somebody every once in a while? Think I like to stick in that house all of the time"(Steinbeck 77). In this …show more content…
An example is "George dealt and Whit picked up his cards and examined them.
"Seen the new kid yet?" he asked. "What kid?" George asked. "Why Curley 's new wife."
"Yeah, I seen her." "Well, ain 't she a looloo?" (Steinbeck 51) This quote is saying that the guys believe that Curley 's wife is a "kid" and that shows they don 't look at her as a woman.
Also, it means that the guys don 't care if she has a name or not because they don 't ask her or
Curley what her name is and they are disrespecting her by calling her names. In the book, Of Mice and Men, the author helped me understand how women were treated through Curley 's wife and he did this by showing that women were lonely, misunderstood and mistreated. To help prove my point, I used many quotes that show that
Curley 's wife was judged by the way that she looked and what she did. Everyone has been lonely, misunderstood and mistreated because of their looks and the things that they do, at least once in their life, but the women in the 1930 's were constantly being judged.
