make-up etc. ¡§She¡¦s purty,¡¨ said Lennie, ¡§Yeah and she¡¦s sure hidin¡¦ it.¡¨ George says sarcastically. George means that Curley¡¦s wife wants the attention of everyone. She wants everyone to notice her and to fancy her. Curley¡¦s wife is seen by some as ¡§jail-bait¡¨. This means she is very provocative, she dresses herself up to attract some ranch workers and then Curley would duff them up or get them canned. This is not what necessarily happens but it is what all the workers believe what will happen is they do anything to her. This is why George warns Lennie away from Curley's wife. ¡§Don¡¦t you even take a look at that bitch. I don¡¦t care what she says and what she does ¡K I never seen a piece of jail-bait worse than her. You leave her be.¡¨ George warns Lennie away just in case he gets to close to her and Curley gets annoyed and starts a fight with him. I think that she is very lonely. As she is the only woman on the ranch she has no one to talk or gossip to. She tries to talk to some of the workers but they are scared of what Curley would do to them. This definitely adds to her loneliness. She always claims to be ¡§looking for Curley¡¨, which I think, is an excuse to chat up the ranch workers. But definitely, the main reason she feels so unhappy and alone is because of her husband. He forces his wife to feel alone because he forbids her out of the house and, I am pretty sure he beats her. Also, he visits brothels and this makes her feel inadequate. For Curley¡¦s wife Curley was second choice and he acts like it. She does have several dreams of a better life. When men promise her careers in acting and film she believes them but I think that they just wanted her to sleep with them. Because her dreams fail she marries Curley. Now she is trapped on this ranch with no one to speak to apart from Curley ¡V who is not much comfort although he does try with his ¡§glove full of Vaseline¡¨.
