Curley's wife was not happy living with Curley. She is more of a prize or a possession rather than being portrayed as an actual human being. She feels lonely and wants attention, which is why she flirts with the other men. She is not given the right to do what she wants. she is being compelled under her own will.

# data[].attributes.body
Curley's wife wasn't happy being with Curley and she said she's felt lonely and didn't have anyone to talk to. She would go talk to the other guys because Curley didn't talk to her and she didn't love him. She wanted to be an actress but couldn't find the letter for her to get in. She thought that if she was with Curley that maybe she would get more than if she wasn't with him. She flirted with a lot of the guys on the farm but they didn't go along with it because if Curley found out then he would do something about it.

Throughout the whole story, I couldn't help but to feel bad for curley's wife. She was treated as curley's possession, and wasn't even given a proper name in the story. I felt as though she was a misunderstood character. She seemed like total flirt and kind of air-headed because of the way she acted around the men, but I read into this behavior a little more. I think she acted this way towards the men because she was desperate for companionship and to be something other than curley's wife. He was so possessive of her that I thought that her flirtatious behavior was sort of a rebellion against curley. It seemed like she was trying to prove a point or proving her worth when she flirted. I think that her character is easily misunderstood. She is so clearly desperate to get out of her current situation and I think that readers are quick to judge her character.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel as though there was more to Curley's wife since throughout the story she was seen as an object. She is regarded as "Curley's wife", which indicates that she is the possession of Curley and that she can't be someone without him. This restriction causes her to act out in little ways of rebellion which are seen as whoreish by the men and give her her superficial reputation. It is easy to disregard her as I did in the beginning as someone who just causes trouble, however when looking in depth at the time period, it can be discovered that the wife was only trying to escape the loneliness and sadness that is her life with Curley. She lacks attention and when she gets it is is negative from her reputation; this resonates with her and brings her to her breaking point while talking to Lennie.

Curley's wife is a more interesting character in this novel than many would like to admit. She isn't just a whore, or a motivation for Curley to threaten the men, but a complex character in her own right. Calling Curley's wife a "slut" or a "whore" is an oversimplification, but that's not because she's looking for cheap sex - she's looking for attention. She frequently mentions how no one seems to want to talk to her. She is unhappy in her marriage. Curley treats her like a possession, like he owns her. This is representative of how a lot of women were treated at the time. When Curley tells her to do something, she should do it, no questions asked. She flirts with the other men because it's something to do that's not being bossed around by Curley all day. The reason the workers don't want to talk to her is under threat from Curley. He wants to know where she is all the time, and he gets angry whenever she talks to anyone else. What else is there to do? It's not like she can go out to town and do anything - Curley wouldn't like that. Above all this, look at the character's name. I referred to her as "Curley's wife", because we never learn her actual name. A lot back then, and even some now, women were referred to as "Mrs. [husband's name]". Like in one of the letters to Eleanor Roosevelt. One of the children refers to her as Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt. Not to blame the kids here (it was common around that time), but it makes it seem like they are just an accessory piece to the man. No, she's her own person and her name is Eleanor! Unfortuantely, we never hear about Curley's wife without the mention of Curley.

# data[].attributes.body
It would seem that if one didn't deeply analyze Curley's wife they would have simply believed she was a "slut." After hearing in on the discussion in class, the situation that Curley's wife was in made sense. I would firmly believe that she was a women who was lonely and looked for something or someone to keep her company. This is especially seen when throughout the entire book she is only referred to as "Curley's wife" and not by an actual name. This gives the reader the idea that she is Curley's property and not her own person. Additionally, it mentioned how she could have been in the movies, but the letter never came so instead she married Curley. The reader is able to understand that her aspirations didn't come true so she decided to settle. It would seem that because she was surrounded by men and married to a man who didn't give her the attention she needed, she flirted with the other men in hopes she would get the "love" she wanted.

# data[].attributes.body
Upon finishing reading the story, watching the movie, and listening to the class discussion, I realized that Curley's wife wasn't a whore, she was just a lonely woman with a terrible husband and she wanted normal companionship and real love. She didn't have any lady friends to talk to or have fun with, and the men were always working, so she figured the only way to get their attention is to flirt with them. She may cause trouble for the workers, but maybe if Curley wasn't such a scumbag, she'd be less emotionally damaged by her lack of friendship and her loss of her actress dream, and instead have a healthy love she can trust and depend on to keep her strong and happy.

# data[].attributes.body
It turns out that she isn't a slut even though that is how she comes off to men. At first I thought she was just going around being a whore while married when really shes just mistreated and desperate and doesn't know what love feels like so she looks for it in other men

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of the men saw her has a slut, but to her she was more than that, she just didn't know how to express herself. Curly constantly tries to dominate her, but she hates being stuck up in the house with nothing to do. She flirts with the other men to try and get some type of companionship, because it's the only way she knows how to talk to them.

# data[].attributes.body
After the discussion with the class I came to understand that Curly's wife is misunderstood.  She was very lonely and desperate, sharing secrets with strangers and flirting up and down the block. She doesn't like Curly because he didn't treat her with respect. Since she was a woman in the 1930s she was unable to get a steady job and have a home to herself. I also believed that Curly's wife only allowed Lenny to touch her hair because she wanted some feeling of love and care.

# data[].attributes.body
While reading the book and watching the movie, Curly's wife acts like a whore, flirting with all the men, but never was she around Curly. After watching the video and discussing in class, I realized that Curly's wife is desperate for someone to appreciate her, which Curly never did. She realized that Curly is mean to her, but since she was a woman in the 1930s there wasn't much she could do.

# data[].attributes.body
At first glance, Curley's wife is seen as a slut. However, after watching the video and discussing in class, there is much more to her. We now understand that the relationship between Curley and his wife is one that is painful for the wife. She is regarded as a trophy wife, meaning she's just there for her looks. This takes a toll on Curley's wife, and she wants to find validity from other men. This is why she flirts with the other men, not because she is a slut, but because she has feelings as a human being.

# data[].attributes.body
In the video, Curley's wife is desperate and envious to the mens that they treated her like she's an object. (womens did not have rights yet and others were poor in Great Depression)

# data[].attributes.body
Curley's wife has been treated as nothing more than his own property, like a piece of trash and seems to be the victim of mental/emotional torment which is a shame, because she would do anything for her husband. But his disinterest in caring for her and acting overly impulsive eventually drives her to take desperate actions to try and gain curly's love.

# data[].attributes.body
After watching the video who Curley's wife is, we can tell that the ties between Curley and his wife is one that hurts Curley's wife. She was rather treated as a "trophy" than a wife or a supporting partner. Even though she liked to spend her time outside and talking to other men, the men at that time didn't see anything special in her and only considered woman another person to have in their life. From her point of view, it makes sense that she wants attention as her husband doesn't treat her the way she wants and she would rather spend time with other men and seek hope if they like to talk to her.

# data[].attributes.body
Curly's wife is desperate for attention and love. I think she feels like she deserves more from husband who treats her poorly and is surrounded by men she thinks that could treat her better and give her attention. She is also misjudged because is young and many people see her as a slut. but all she has is good intentions and  just wants to escape her situation as being a thing and not a real person.

# data[].attributes.body
Curly's wife seems to be desperate, and feels like everyone is against her. She thought she found someone who she thought cared for her. Curly however didn't happened to be what she wanted him to be. She seems to be looking for attention from other people, especially from men. She doesn't seem to be treated that well, and Curly keeps her as a trophy. Her problem is that she doesn't know how to get away from her situation.

# data[].attributes.body
Curley's wife is misjudged because of what she wears. She is seen as a whore. She is being objectified and I see her as lonely. I think she's using her looks to her advantage by gaining the attention of males which is what she wants since Curley doesn't treat her right. There were not many opportunities for women during this time so she had to marry him even though that's what was best for her or what she wanted. She now wants more than what her marriage provides and she has no other way of getting more

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that Curl's wife is someone who is tied to a man who hurts her. She is treated as an object and a trophy instead of an actual human being. Women were treated as commodities that need protection. She tries to gain companionship and love from other people  despite her overbearing husband. Back then men didn't see women as people. Only as something they need to own.

# data[].attributes.body
Curly's wife is seen as an someone who is tied to Curly and should act as a married women should at that time. As she is in a situation where she is treated as an object and is looked down upon by the men on the farm, it makes sense that she would want to find a way to leave. Then again that is from the view point of this time and might not have been a popular idea back in their time. She does try to do what she can to be more independent by going to the barn, going outside and dressing the way she does, but other people, the men, don't see it as that.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the way curly's wife behaves is a symptom of being considered property. Since everyone thinks she is "owned" by Curley and the fact that she is always referred to as "Curley's wife" and never by her given name makes her act out. By being flirty and dressing attractively and not staying indoors, this is her way of saying that she does not belong to someone and that she will not stand for this treatment of inequality. She is constantly having to obey or be punished, she is just trying to have a little freedom.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Curly's wife was struggling with the life she was expected to live after she married Curly. Curly saw her as more of like an object of his possession, rather than an actual person. Curly's wife on the other hand seems to be seeking companionship, which Curly himself couldn't provide for her. She must've been expected to fulfill her role as a woman and just do what her husband tells her to do, but she goes against these stereotypes by expressing herself in ways that she wants to. She tries very hard to show people how much she dislikes her husband, and how she doesn't just want obey his every command.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that Curley's wife may have personal issues within. She wanted to leave for the show with that man, but she couldn't and now she is trapped on the ranch with Curley. I think she is haunted by her choice to not take a chance and change her fate, so she tries to flirt with the other men to get away from Curley.  The way she dresses is also her choice and she is objectified by that, if men can't control themselves that is their problem. The men viewed women as beneath them and had control over them and that is clear here, but she doesn't listen to Curley.  She acts like a more modern woman as she does what she wants, but honestly Curley should have probably realized how strong headed she was before they got married.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that curley's wife is judged in many different ways. I believe that as a women she has the right to dress the way that she likes. I believe that the reason many of the men felt as though they could control her is because men saw women as less than them. She is in a situation many women were in back in that age of time. The women of this time couldnt get out of a bad relationship and were trapped. She was looking for love because curley was not treating her right. I believe that as a women she was being judged for no reason. People think of her as a "whore" when she is simply trying to get out of a bad situation. As a women she was judged by how she dresses which was not fair of them to do.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Curley’s wife is being judged harshly but I can understand where the men are coming from when they insult her. Many people are saying she is being judged for no reason at all but she is flirting with different men other than her husband and it is understandable to call her out on that. She did not deserve to be insulted or objectified but flirting with other men was highly looked down upon then and is now. She does deserve to be able to talk to other men and dress the way she wants (unless it’s too provocative), she also deserves to have her own life and not to be controlled by her husband.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that Curley's wife is being judged for no good reasoning, she isn't a "whore", even though it was the norm to think women were less than men, it's still no way to treat somebody. If Curley's wife wanted to dress the way she dressed then she should be able to do that, no one should have the right to objectify someone based on their appearance. I also believe that the men had some sort of power (since they were men and this was 1930's) so they believed that they could control the women, and since Curley's wife dressed provocatively she was an easy target for them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Curley's wife is being ridiculed and judged for absolutely no reason. If she wants to wear provocative clothes, then she should be able to because it's her choice. Just because she dresses a certain way doesn't mean she behaves like a "whore". I also believe that she is trying to send a message and push the boundaries, as she should, because her husband has no right to just own her and control what she does or wears. I also believe that the men in the town should view the way she dresses in a certain, like maybe she is just trying to express herself because she likes dressing that way, and that she's not doing it for the wrong reasons.

I think Curley's wife is very misunderstood, most likely the most misunderstood character. I think Curley's wife was someone who was looking for love and she thought she found it with Curley but she was actually very mistaken. And, now she feels alone and trapped because either if she leaves Curley she will have nothing or Curley will never let her leave him. So no matter what she does she's trapped hopeless and all alone.  So to try and ease the pain of being all alone she flirts with other men because she needs to feel some kind of affection.

I think Curley's wife is defined by her role, Curley's wife and possession. The book describes her as a "tart" who wears too much makeup and dresses like a "whore." I don't think she's any of these names. I think her beauty is her power and she uses this as her advantage to get what she wants.

# data[].attributes.body
Curly's wife was always looked down upon and called a "tart" by the others on the farm. She didn't have anything that people saw in her and was just trying to use herself as a way to get people's attention. She just wanted to fit in and be liked by everyone else.

Curley's wife lives in a tough world where she is treated like she doesn't matter, like she is an object for you to possess.

This is a time of extreme oppression and objectification; she is only able to use her sexuality to her advantage, and she is willing to do this if it means she has a chance to achieve her American dream. She is a normal human being with a normal dream, and she simply wants to escape this life of misery.

Curley's wife was seen as a piece of property by Curley and his friends. She never had free will or opportunities to make her dreams come true. Her American Dream was to become an actress, so she could become rich, famous, and independent. In order to accomplish her dreams she had to whatever she could and she had very little to work with. All she had were her looks and sexuality, so she used it to her advantage.

Curley's wife was objectified and seen for just her body and the fact that she was a woman, but her feelings and dreams were never taken into consideration, and all she really wanted was to be seen for her personality and goals rather than her sexuality.

# data[].attributes.body
Curley's wife is not a tart woman. Even though she goes around wearing eye-popping colors and wears high heels around the farm, she only wants the affection she hasn't gotten from anyone else. This is because she has been treated as an item by Curley for all the of her life. She lacked affection from the one person who was supposed to give her their love. But instead they mistreat her, not looking at what she is on the inside, but what she is on the outside. This treatment could have been the start of her problem, coupled with other women not being able to come out, she got the title of tart because she only talked to other men to get the affection she lacked from them. But this obviously turned south because she was called a tart.

# data[].attributes.body
Though what Curley's wife has been seen doing questionable things they were never confirmed so it wouldn't be fair to assume that she is a "hussy". Although it would be perfectly fine to make and assumption based on facts as long is its not stated as an absolute fact. If a women is in a relationship and is constantly around other men (that aren't family) then it wouldn't be totally insane for a human to want to be aware of his partners locations and activities.

For Curley's wife, she probably had a tough life and all she really wanted was some companionship, which was oftentimes mistaken for flirting.

Curley's wife is not hussy, she is a normal human being. Shw was restricted to many things. She was not treated well. She feels trapped in the marriage. Curley does not love her, he uses her to do some kind of work. She was interested in another man because she did not get love from her husband.

Curley's wife is definitely not a tart or a hussy. She is the only female on an all men farm. She is surrounded by guys who won't know how to properly treat ladies. Her husband sees her as a price possession, a piece of property and doesn't treat her fairly. As she told Lennie, she gave up everything to marry this man and come live with him, she had friends, but lost them all for her husband. She is just lonely and has nothing much to do, and because the guys don't treat her has an individual and equal, she tries to do everything she can to make them feel otherwise, and get some respect.

Curley's wife is not a tart or a hussy, she is a human who has dreams and wants to achieve something with her life. Due to her being married to Curley, Curley's wife was restricted to many things. She was treated as an object rather than a regular human being. Every move of her was scrutinized by society, nothing she did or said was approved by everyone. Since Curley and his wife are in a loveless marriage Curley's wife feels trapped in the marriage. Curley doesn't treat her as an equal, he uses her to do everyday tasks. Curley's wife didn't receive any love or affection that she went to other men to seek attention. Due to these reasons I don't believe Curley's wife is simply a tart or a hussy, she is just someone who doesn't want to be suppressed by anyone.

Curley's wife is so much more than a tart or a hussy. She wants to follow her dreams, but marriage is not allowing her to do so. Also the fact that she is a woman isn't allowing her to become a movie star. Men had the ability to do anything during those times. I feel like she turned to flirting with men to take her mind off of her dreams.

# data[].attributes.body
Curley’s wife is more than just a tart or a hussy. She has dreams and aspirations of her own, but is not in an ideal situation to be able to accomplish them on her own. She definitely relies on men, like the man that says he works in the movie industry. She is taken advantage of, both by him and Curley. To cope with this, Curley’s wife is flirty with many men, but she is only trying to escape the feeling of being trapped.

Curley's wife was envious of the American Dream. During the 1900's women's roles expanded greatly but they were mainly expected to stay in the house, take care of children, and serve the husband when he comes home from a long day of work.

Curley's wife isn't a hussy and a tart, she can do more in society than just stay and work at home. But instead, she's stuck with her role. And if her husband would treated her better, then things would be different.  Back then, roles for women have been just staying home while the men go out and work. Today, women have the same amount of opportunities as men do.

I think Curley's wife isn't a tart, but instead she is lost in life and trying to find her place. Throughout the story she can't stay to just one man, and instead flirts with many of them. This may be because she dislikes being with Curley and the other men give her more attention. She also seems to be alone as there are no other women in the story, which means the only people she can talk to are guys.

I think Curley's wife is more than just a hussy. She had her own dreams and lost them, that's why she ended up married to Curley on a farm. She is somewhat jealous of the buck wheat pickers. She wants a piece of their American dream. Curley's wife was scammed by a sex hungry man. She wanted to become a movie star, but couldn't make it on her own because she was a woman. The 1920s were a different time, and the buck wheat pickers believed that her place was in the house and she shouldn't have dreams or aspirations of her own.

Curley's wife feels trapped with curley. She doesn't love him and he doesn't treat her right. Because of this, Curley's wife searches for approval and escape from Curley in interacting with the other men. While some may see this as her being a hussy, she is actually acting natural for the situation she is in.

I think that there is certainly more to Curley's wife than is revealed by the men's conversations. She is simply seeking attention and some degree of refuge from her husband. If she had a loving, supportive husband that was quite wealthy, she probably would have been content to remain with him and would've had no desire to hang out with other men.

Curley's wife feels trapped in her current life. She does not want to be married to Curley, because he does not love her. Curley doesn't treat her like he should treat his wife, so she is not in a happy marriage, and wants Curley to understand that.

I don't think that curly's wife is a hussy because I feel like the reason she acts the way she does is because of Curly's lack of love for her. I think Curly's wife just wants to feel wanted, and get attention and love that she is not getting from Curly. I think that she feels she gets this attention and recognition from others, and that is why she acts the way she does, not because she is a hussy.

I think that Curley's wife is more than that she is said by men. Getting married with Curley was not her own will, and she had something else that she really wanted to do in her life. At that time of this story, there were few opportunities for women, and she had no choices rather than getting married with him. I guess she was forced to be married with him by her family, so she does not want to be with him. That is why she never stops going to other men and being called a hussy or a tart. She is trying to be against the role that women are expected to be.

I don't think Curley's wife is just a hussy. She was in an unfortunate self-feeding cycle. I think that she sought attention to validate herself which in turn, caused all the men to objectify her more. Curley saw how she was doing this and kept trying to keep her to himself. The other men saw this and thought of her as a slut because they didn't know the full picture, she annoyed them, and she made trouble.

I feel that Curley's wife is but a young girl that feels trapped in her marriage and wants to find control in some aspect of her life. That aspect just so happens to be how she dresses and who she sleeps with. It's a common occurrence in human psychology to search for control when you have none and this is exactly what she's going through.
She has hopes and dreams for herself, one being the movies as illustrated by her interest in a man who says he could make her a star, but is trapped on a farm in the middle of nowhere in America where she has little rights to herself and is seen as a piece of her husband's property by the men around her.

She has more to her. This girl probably is feeling very trapped. Along with that she wants to have her own life and pursue her own dreams. She most likely uses these men for the attention that they give her.

Curley's wife feels trapped. She doesn't have a life outside of Curly and was looking for company with the guys. She also is very nosy which ends up being her downfall.

I think that Curley's Wife is not a tart or a hussy. Many of these men give her more attention than Curley himself. She seeks attention from them because she honestly needs it. I take her as someone who is lonely. She wanted to be in movies and she was vulnerable and got hurt. She is more than a tart, for she has goals for herself but cannot achieve them. In her situaton, her goals aren't reachable. This is because she is a woman, opressed and maybe just given up.

I think that Curley's wife is more than just a tart or a hussy. I feel like her freedom was bargained when she married Curley. Curley dismisses her as an object rather than a human being. She was just never given the right opportunity to help achieve her goal. She was just suppressed and was unable to express her feeling and goals. The "social standard" during that time was for the women to stay in the house where they belong and do the "woman" household job.

I think Curley’s wife is making the most of her situation. There is limited opportunity for women at this time and so I think the way she expresses herself is her way of holding on to the last thing she has possession of.
