Curley Wife Life Quot
726 words
The scene that was most memorable to me in this
play was when Lenny and Curley'? s wife shared a
conversation while the others were away. It
started with Lenny moping around about the rabbit
he had killed and then Curley'? s wife joined him.
This scene ended in a surprising way, but in my
opinion many interesting things were discussed
about the concept of life. I was extremely
surprised with the ending of this scene because
when the conversation began I predicted that it
was the start to a close...

Curleys Wife Complete Isolation Lennie

The fact that Curleys wife is not given a name
foreshadows her own isolation. In fact, probably
reason why she is not given a name, is because she
is totally hidden from the world and nobody knows
her as anyone else. She is always referred to as
Curleys wife, a ghost to the world. This
emphasizes her complete isolation form the rest of
the characters in the novel. She is a character
without sympathy, but she can be vicious. She is a
victim of an empty life, and a meaningless one.
Meaningless due...

of the same qualities is because they both reflect
