Curley's Wife Sexism

Curley's wife from the beginning of the story is tremendously outcasted from society . Curley's wife is a lonely wife that lives in a far place. She can't go anywhere because the ranch is so far away. She has no other women to talk to because there are only the male ranch workers on the ranch that don't want to talk to her .Since there are no women on the ranch she tries to talk to the ranch workers, but the ranch workers think that she is an “tart” or a “flirt”. She is also separated by sexism which is abundant at this point in time.
Another reason for that curley's wife rejects from society is because of her husband Curley. Curley is the ranch owner's son and loves to pick fights with people who are bigger and stronger than he is.

He likes to pick fights because he jealous when the people look at his wife. One example is when Curley tries to punch Lennie and gets his hand shattered like a glass vase hitting a stone floor. So having a husband like Curley, it is hard for her to talk to anybody. Once in the book, Curly's wife tries to talk to a ranch hand named Crooks. He is a African-American man who has to deal with racism during this time. When curley's wife tries to talk to him, he doesn't want to say anything here because she is a little racist and is a flirt. Crook is not the only character that does not trust Curley's wife because George does not trust her either.
Which leads to the question why did Steinbeck create such a character? Steinbeck creates this character to show sexism in this time. In summary, Curley's wife is the most outcast character Steinbeck's story “Of Mice and Men”.
