The Presentation of Curleys wife in John Steinbecks novel Of Mice and Men

The Presentation of Curleys spouse in John Steinbecks epic Of Mice and Men Of Mice and Men isn't benevolent in its portrayel of ladies. Truth be told, ladies are treated with scorn over the span of the novel. Steinbeck for the most part delineates ladies as being troublemakers who welcome ruin on men and make them frantic. Curley's better half, who strolls the farm as a flirt, is by all accounts a prime case of this dangerous inclination - Curley's as of now awful temper has just intensified since their wedding. Beside wearisome spouses, 'Of Mice and Men' offers constrained, rather misanthropic, portrayals of ladies who are either dead maternal figures or whores. The way that she isn't given a name just adds to her absence of status.Despite this present Curley's better half rises as a serious mind boggling and intriguing character. At first she seems, by all accounts, to be a serious basic character as she is depicted as having 'got the eye' and being a 'tart'. Again when we see here just because unmistakably she is viewed as a risky, sexual character.The F lood (Of Mice and Men album)Her 'rouged lips', 'red nails' and 'red donkeys' stress her hazardous job. Her negative portrayal is furthur created with the unexpected cutting off of the light, hinting her job in pulverizing everybody's fantasies and Lennie's life. We are urged to despise her as she acts provocatively towards the men and carries on improperly for a male overwhelmed, farm condition. George's remark that she is 'prison trap' furthur follows that we consider her to be a risk, especially as he nearly predicts Lennie's future ensnarement. We just start to see her in more depthand feel compassion toward her when she shows her conspicuous dread for Curley when she becomes 'troubled' at the notice of him searching for her. This made me start to ponder about and that she might be something beyond a 'tart'.
