He is basically a nasty guy. He has a small guy complex and feels the need to look tough and unfeeling.

We never see Curly and his wife together. Curly's wife is perpetually "looking" for her husband. She is really just lonely. Curly too looks for his wife but only because he fears another man is with his posession. When she does open up she takes it for granted that everybody knows that Curly is abusive,

"think I’m gonna stay in that two by four house and listen to Curley.....I can’t talk to nobody but Curley"
