Before her marriage, Curley’s wife had not anticipated how boring life would be on the ranch. As the only woman on the ranch, she is lonely because she has no friends and Curley is often busy with ranch duties. It angers her that she thinks he neglects her. She generally feels frustrated because she feels trapped. The men try to be polite but not pay her too much attention because of the risk of making Curley jealous; his threats to beat the workers are humiliating to her. Lennie does not fully understand the warnings to steer clear of her, and she feels comfortable in his presence. Her relief does not last long, however, because Lennie’s inability to modulate his great strength ends her life.
