- There are three types of women - Firstly, the 'girl next door' who provides stability through marriage and home life - the nice girl to settle down with and make roots. Secondly there is the prostitutes who are the only type of woman the ranch members have access to. Lastly, there is Curley's Wife, who we have looked at a lot in lessons.
- Woman, or the lack of, are a symbol of failure for men. George can't have the type of stability that he dreams of because according to him Lennie is always 'on my tail'.
- Curley's wife lets men think that he wears Vaseline in glove to impress the other ranch men and highlight their failings.. To prove how manly he is. He isn't try to impress his wife here. He does not respect her because he spreads this talk with the other men.
