We’ve seen her in the doorway of the bunkhouse. What do we know of her character so far? Why do you think she comes to the bunkhouse?

Curleys wife is very flirty to say the least.She give other workers the “eye”. She come to the bunckhouse looking for Curley but I think she just wanted to get a look at the new workers(Gerogre and Lennie).
Comment by doplato March 28, 2007 @ 5:34 pmCurley’s wife is very flirty. Candy refers to her as a “tart” because she gives everyone on the ranch the ranch the eye. I also think she went to the bunkhouse to check out George and Lennie. She was very playful and flirty.
Comment by kaitlin lafferty March 28, 2007 @ 8:33 pmI agree with the other comments, she is very flirty and comes to the ranchhouse just to play around with other guys. I would like to know why she was in a hurry and got anxious when she heard Curley was looking for her.

Comment by psgeiger March 29, 2007 @ 2:46 pmThe women that is in the doorway is Curley’s wife. We are told that she is a “tart” and it’s obvious that she is very easy and not very loyal when she comes into the bunkhouse to flirt with George and Lennie.
Comment by blueyedbabiix022 March 29, 2007 @ 3:09 pmThe woman that Curly is married to must still must want someones elses attention. Maybe Curly isn’t such a good husband, or maybe he doesn’t give her enough support or attention in her life. Whatever the reason, I think his wife acts in the flirty manner because their is something missing in their relationship.
Comment by nb14 March 29, 2007 @ 4:37 pmMiss Fowler- this would tell you that Curlys marrage with his wife isn’t a verry stong relationship.

Comment by Miss Fowler April 1, 2007 @ 10:22 pmI agree with doplato.. that she is going into thte bunkhouse to look at other workers. Maybe because she is bored with Curley. No i do not think she understands the consequences of flirting. I think tis because she does it.

Comment by rsborn April 3, 2007 @ 3:33 pmI agree with everyone by calling her a “tart” she is too flirty to be a wife. If she is acting like this she should not be married.
Comment by wamanda April 3, 2007 @ 3:52 pmShe is definetley a “tart.” She hasn;t been married very long and she’s already flirting with half of the men working on the ranch. It’s really pathetic. I think she came to the bunkhouse just to see the new guys.
