Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck Question?

Question

What is Curley's wife's name? Does she even have a name? Or in the report I have to write should I just refer to her as 'Curley's wife'?

Answer 1

is just curleys wife.

you can call her w***e if u wish...

no dont do that , you'll get in trouble

Answer 2

No she doesn't have a name.

You have to refer to her as "Curley's wife".

I think the author did this to emphasise that women have no identity, they are a possession of men.

Curley's wife isn't seen as a human being with thoughts or feelings, she is seen as Curley's property, nothing else.

Hope that helps!

Answer 3

She does not have a name which is of huge significance. it accentuates how women were percieved back then and how they have no identities and are just seen as 'poison' and a 'tart'. if you want any more info contact me, i have studied the whole book ,in depth!!! however in the film,i think they call her jane

Answer 4

OMG you started reading your summer readign. im so proud of you!!!!!

yes Curley's wife will be fine. i dont think our teacher will care if it summer reading.

Flowers for Algernon was the saddest book i have ever read. i cried for the last 10 pages. Bawling. no joke

Answer 5

just refer to her as Curley's wife. as the person said before the fact he doesnt give her a name symbolizes women weren't important back then.
