Prompt: Describe the atmosphere of the ranch and bunkhouse. Be sure to include characteristics of different characters that were formally or informally introduced to us in this chapter. Support your choice with textual evidence and interpretation.
Why doesn't Curley's wife have a name? What message, if anything, is John Steinbeck trying to send by not giving her a first name? Support your choice with textual evidence and interpretation
The atmosphere in the ranch and bunkhouse are tense do to the fact that there is constant fight and you learn negative things about the characters. I believe that this is the atmosphere of the ranch and bunkhouse because on page 26 where it is stated "But this Curley better bot make no mistake about Lennie. ....Curley punk is gonna get hurt if he messes around with Lennie." Which shows the reader that George has his eyes on Curley which builds tension up because he might get physical with him if it is needed and that Curley is ill-tempered. Another piece of evidence can be found on page 28 were Candy says "“I ‘ve seen her give Slim the eye." Which shows the reader that she is unfaithful to her husband and it raises the tense because it means that she might do the same thing with Lennie do to the fact that Lennie likes her as well and they might get into trouble or worse.
Curley's wife does not have a wife because she is not seen as an equal to the men. The reason that I believe that she is not seen as an equal as that at the time that the book was written many women are not given the basic rights that men were given. On page 28 Candy says "Yeah purity..." Which shows the reader that they she her as only a pretty thing and not an equal. On page 28 it is stated by Candy " I seen her give Slim the eye." Which shows the reader that she is unfaithful to her husband because she is flirting with others.
