Motif Essay(READY!!!!)

Jezebel or lonely as hell? Who am I talking about? Curley’s wife that’s who. In the book Of Mice of Men Curley’s wife’s behavior would be labeled by many as not lady like. But in the movie she is portrayed as the lonely “damsel in distress” longing for some kind of companionship. While reading the book I noticed that every time Curley’s wife shows up she is promiscuous looking and everyone seems to be staying away from her. She is seen as being a scandalous woman who has a thing for Slim and craves male attention. Than again in the movie she seems like she just wants someone to talk to besides her short-tempered husband who does things like, break her most precious records. Which was the only means of entertainment she had left. Reading the book Curley sounds like he saved his wife and is providing for her and all she wants to do is be with other guys and cheat on him with the workers. But she really didn’t love him she really didn’t want him, she had dreams and she gave them up to marry Curley and live on a farm with no one to talk to. No friends no Family just Curley and the guys what would you do?
