The reason why Curley kept looking for his wife, is because when he goes home she is never there. i really do think that portrays how their relationship is. He is always looking for her, but she never look for him. she is always giving eyes to other guys and making passes at them.

The reason why Curley attacks Lennie for no reason is because he is already angry. He is already mad from when he comes in because that he cannot find his wife anywhere and it is getting him frustrated. So when Lennie kept smiling from the image of his house, Curley felt that he needed to get anger out, so he picked on lennie.

I think vurley keeps loking for his wife beacuse he knows deep down that they're realtionship isn't working and that she may just be cheating on him with Slim. Also because wife always tends never to be home and he is always looking for her. Which sorta shows how he keeps putting work into the marriage but it's not working, but he keeps looking for her.

I think Curley attacks Lennie beacuse he is the type of person who won't fight back because he doesn't like to. So he picks on him knowing that he can lash out his anger and lennie will never retaliate. I also think Curley lashes at lennie because lennie is a big guy and curley is not so he tries to hide his insecurities by picking on someone week to make himself feel good.

I believe Curly knew his wife was in modern terms a kinda of "slut" and he knew he had to find her asap. However, I also believe he was putting on an act of being the worried husband when he actually couldn't care less about his wife. On the other hand, he may think of this hide and seek as a game his wife may be playing to get attention, in which case he is giving her that attention. Basically, I think he is so determined to come out as superior to everyone especially towards his wife.

I think the reason that Curley kept looking for his wife is because he doesn't trust her around the men on the ranch. To tell the truth, I wouldn't either. She gives every man on the ranch the "eye" and she hits on Slim. She is a very attractive women but she was not ready for marriage. I don't know what he was thinking when he decided to marry her. She has her eye on every man but the one she is married to.

Curley started to attack Lennie because he thought he was laughing at him. Lennie was smiling because he was thinking about the ranch that him and George are probably someday going to own. The fact he was smiling made Curley think he was laughing at how he was being called a coward. He completely lost it on Lennie and because of Lennie, he lost his hand too. Lennie took his hand and squeezed it so hard that Slim said that he thinks every bone in it was broken. He shouldn't have hit Lennie. Curley is a coward and I think that this "event" will change how he treats the workers. Even in the beginning he picked on Lennie. I don't know whether it is because he is slow or it is because he felt like he was vulnerable because he didn't talk but I do know that he isn't going to mess with him again.

I wonder why George didn't let Slim help and why he yelled for Lennie to do something. He told Lennie not fight but to run to the river. (Just an extra thought.)

Curly kept looking for his wife beocuse she keeps giving people "the eye", and he is very controling and jelouse it seems. but also in good reason since she is always going off and flirting.
Curly picks a fight with Lennie becouse, first off he always picks fights wiht bigger guys and second when he comes in angry and lennie is still smiling for the house. it might have felt to Curly that Lennie was in a sense mocking him. he was very angry and Lennie was happy. so poor Lennie was the perfect victome

Curley if always looking for his wife because she is the type of person that is always going off somewhere, and letting him know. He thinks that she might be messing around with other people. This means that they don’t have a strong relationship because there isn’t much trust that goes into it. What else is he really suppose to do when his wife is fooling around with people on the ranch. She has no business to, and in order to ensure both himself and other people on the ranch that he has some sort of control over his wife, he decided to go looking for her.

Lennie was smiling and so, but doing this, Curley thought that he was laughing at him. Another reason that he might have started something with Lennie is because he doesn’t really seem like the type of person to fight back. It also might have made Curley feel better because he is always picking on Lennie in some form or another.

I think the reason Curley kept looking for his wife because he can`t keep track of her but he wants everyone to think that he does but his vasaline hand. It also shows how he probably only married her for her looks. It also shows how he always wants her but she really doesn't care about him.

The reason Curley attacks Lennie is because he`s unsecure and wants to be big and tall and have everyone be intimidated by him. He also needs to make sure everyone thinks he`s big deal so he needs to beat up a big guy that looks really big and scary so people think better of him. He`s really concerned about what people think of him and this can up it a little bit.
