Curley's Wife Characterization


“Nobody can’t blame a person for lookin’,”
This quote is proof that Curley's wife really doesn't mind people looking at her and she was also flirting with Lennie and George. She also seems to be confident in how she looks because of her clothes and makeup because she doesn't shy away from onlookers but instead welcomes them to gaze at her.

"She put her hands behind her back and leaned against the door frame
so that her body was thrown forward."
This sentence is one of the more descriptive sentences that displays her overall character. She is very flirtatious and by looking at the sentence above, likes to show off her body to strangers. Curley's wife takes pride in how she looks.

"Bet she’d clear out for twenty bucks.”

This sentence could mean that she doesn't have any preference of who exactly she's with, she will take whatever's given to her, gladly. This sentence could also mean that she shares qualities of a prostitute and would be willing to be paid to do things.
