Part 2

We meet several new characters. Choose one to discuss. What did we learn about them - - physically and their disposition? HOW did we learn about them? What do you think this character’s role in the story is? I am choosing Curly's wife. I learned that she is physically very pretty and obviously wealthy (she has enough money to wear fancy clothes like her shoes, to wear fancy makeup, and to be able to do her hair and paint her nails). At the ranch, her disposition is very innocent at first but the turns ugly as she immediately begins flirting with everyone at the Ranch and acts very unfaithful. We learned that she existed when Candy started gossiping about Curly and he told them about Curly's wife. We also learned from Candy that she had the eye. This means that she was still flirting with almost very man she met and that she had a wandering eye. We actually met Curly's wife when she dropped in to ask were Curly was. When she did that she tried to act very flirty and out there. This obviously worked for Lennie, but not for George who listened to Candy and remembered that she was trouble. He also had more sense than Lennie not to go after a married woman. I think her role in the story is to stir up trouble for George and Lennie. Curly already doesn't like either of them so how will he act if he finds out that his wife was flirting with them.?
