She was on the rebound from the man who had promised to put her into motion pictures.  Of course that man lied to her, but she believed that her mother was destroying his letters.  She wanted to get away from home, so she married the first guy who paid attention to her--Curley, whom she met at a dance.  She just wanted to escape.  Some escape.  She is treated as property and trusted even less at the ranch than at home.  Her REAL escape comes when Lennie kills her.

Coco, your're right!

The symbolisme is very evident in showing that she is liberated when Lennie kills her. If you pay attention, you will see that as soon as she is killed, a dove flies out of the barn, and its "liberated". In this case, it is like Curley's Wife is liberated from Curley, whom she doesn't like. Also, we see that she isnt given a name because she is known as curley's possesion. In conclusion, i believe that my answer and coco's answer put together, would put anyone through university.

In the phrase, "An what am I doin. Standing here talkin to a bunch of bindle stiffs, a n***er and a dum dum and a lousy old cow, an likin it becasue there aint nowone else. It is cLEAR THAT CURLY IS FED UP. SHE IS LETTING OUT ALL THAT IS BOTTLED UP INSIDE OF HER. SHE BELIEVES THAT THE OTHER REJECTS WOULDNT EXLUDE HER. IN CONCLUSION, MY ANSWER IS BETTER THAN YOURS BECAUSE I GO TO HARVARD.
