Curley's Wife Outcast Essay

4.8 million women from all around the world participated in a Women’s March. In my opinion this was a ludicrous and stupid act that just made women everywhere look bad. Sexism still exists in our society today and it’s awful. Although, some women really need to just buck up and get their hormones in check. Of Mice and Men has very clear connections to sexism using the experiences of Curley’s Wife. Being an outcast means you’re left out and no one really cares about that much. Curley’s Wife was an outcast. In my opinion outcast’s in a lot of scenarios outcasts have a part in being an outcast. Whether it’s their personality or actions mixed with a disability or disadvantage they can’t control, but they still play a part in it. In Curley’s wife’s

Curley’s wife did this in a way she flirted with every guy and suffocated them in a way. Losing any possible chance she had for them. This is seen in a conversation had between Curley’s wife and Lennie, "I tell you I ain't used to livin' like this. I coulda made somethin' of myself." She said darkly, "Maybe I will yet."

In my opinion this is just another form of flirting. Which is her just wanting to be loved. All of these traits play a part in her being an

I’m not saying sexism doesn’t exist but women get a little too over emotional about some issues. This just makes the problem 10x worse no matter how much people are trying to make it better. I see this the most in politics. Women were so mad when Trump was elected because of some sexist comments that he made.
