Curley’s wife is the only woman on the ranch and has no-one who will talk to her – including her husband. Her sexuality isolates her from the other characters. She is bored and lonely, but her attempts to engage the attention of the men on the ranch only serve to push them further away from her. She has already given up on her dream of a better life as a movie star and appears to hang her hopes on any man who will listen, as Lennie appears to. For one, Curley's wife is the only woman on the ranch and the only prominent female character in the entire novel.
Curley's wife was treated with injustice due to the fact that she was the only female on the ranch and because she had no one to converse with. Curley's wife has no female friends to share with so naturally she would want to go talk to the men on the ranch. Most often she would go talk to someone who she really did not need to talk to. An example of one of these instances would be when she enters Crooks house and starts talking to Lennie, Candy, and Crooks (77). She is portrayed as a 'tart' (28) and as a flirtatious lady who is going to cause the men trouble (32).

They are completely separated from other people even with their parents, with the exception that both characters have a major female role in their lives, Donnie’s being Gretchen and Holden’s being his little sister, Phoebe. Holden likes Phoebe a lot, even though phoebe does things that usually gets on Holden’s nerve, he doesn’t hate or mind it, like when phoebe repeats “daddy’ll kill you” (167) 4 or 5 times, Holden never once got angry and reply the same answer over and over even though he said he hated people repeating themselves “that’s something that drives me crazy, when someone says something twice that way, after you admit it the first time. Then he says it three times.” Donnie always likes to disagree with other people’s philosophy and thinking, like his gym teacher’s, whenever Gretchen says “what if you could go back in time, and take all those hours of pain and darkness and

In purple hibiscus women are often shown as inferior to men. They are expected to tolerate the severe physical, mental and verbal abuse inflicted by the head of the house, which is why mama was silent and refusing to retaliate for such a long period of time. Mama could easily be forgotten for a lot of the book as she seems to blend in the background, as she is a woman of few words. Even walking through the house she never made a sound and the conversations Kambili describe with her were brief and rare- unlike those she had with her father, a lot of which resulted in violence. That is why the ‘slip slap’ had such great significance as she suddenly started to make noise which was a great shock to the norm of the novel.
Mary Poppins participates, along with the children, in fun activities, while also being strict and on point. Michel and Jane learn a lot from their amothera figure, even though George is married to Mrs. Banks.
