Throughout part 4 of Of Mice and Men, Curley's wife reveals several times that she is lonely. When Curley's wife was talking to Lennie, Candy, and Crooks, she admitted why she was always asking for attention. "Think I don't like to talk to someone ever' once in a while? Think I like to stick in that house alla time?" (77). In this explanation she was giving to Lennie, Candy, and Crooks, she told them that she was lonely sitting in the house all the time with no one to talk to except Curley. Curley's wife just wanted someone to talk to especially since she's the only girl in town and Curley is always very protective of her, so she can't talk that much to most people. She just wants to have a conversation with someone outside of her house. This explains why Curley's wife wants to leave the house "looking" for Curley and draws attention to herself everywhere she goes.
