Curley's Wife Ambiguous Character
In the novel of “Of Mice and Men” Steinbeck invented an extremely ambiguous character known as Curely’s Wife. Readers would ether like or dislike the personality of Curley’s Wife. Her dream was to be in the movies as she quotes “Nother time I met a guy an’ he was in pitchers. Went out to the Riverside Dance Palace with him. He says he was gonna put me in the movies.

He said “she’s is a nice, kind girl, not a floozy.” He is saying that he didn’t mean to make her a floozy and that she was misunderstood by the other characters. He also says “With all this -if you knew her, if you could break down a thousand little defences she had built up, you would find a nice person, a honest person and you would end up loving he.” This shows that she was misunderstood, scared and even frightened at what the world was
