''Of Mice and Men'' - Between the Line: Symbol

In the book called ‘’Of Mice and Men’’ what does the character Curley’s Wife a symbol for?

After reading Of Mice and Men I think that Curley’s is maybe a symbol for women during that time period. I think that she represents women during that time period because she just played the role as a stay at home wife who does not do manual labor but, the only think she has to do is keep her self up and maintain the house hold. During that time period women were not allowed to do much either but take care of the kids, maintain the house hold, and keep their self together too. Curley also want her to stay in the house all the time and during that time period women were not even allowed to vote so Curley’s wife show what it was like for women back in the day.
