Steinbeck leaves her unnamed so she lacks something that makes her appear as an equal individual. She is not meant to be very important in this novel. Curley’s wife is not part of the story to connect with the reader, and by giving her a name, the reader would become much more attached. Curley’s wife is isolated and ignored in Of Mice and Men. She isn’t cared about at all.
Unwisely utilizing money in large amounts to buy unnecessary objects, Jackie, despite supposedly being the second-in-command of her family, remains unaware her family does not have enough money to spend wildly and uncaringly. Therefore, instead of keeping the family strong, she sinks it into debt. Moreover, Jackie, by circumventing her reality check, similarly how she brings her family debt, believes she gains strength from her marriage to David, whilst, entirely opposite to her thinking, David does not gain strength from the marriage, even going as far as to describe Jackie as his wife is the same as having another child (Greenfield). Jackie does not have a stable grasp of the current reality. This also shows Jackie’s position in the family: equal to her children, meaning she has no power within it—she has no role.

I learned through our activity that this passage reflects Mishima’s Shinto beliefs, that nature is a force of good. Another important aspect of the novel that I learned during our presentations was gender roles. When we discussed the gender roles of Shintoism, I realized that Hatsue and Shinji’s relationship clearly did not go by the rules and that is why it created so much conflict. This is not something that I immediately grasped during my reading of the novel so learning about Mishima’s strict beliefs and traditional Japanese values made it clear why the characters of Uta-jima gossiped about Shinji and Hatsue so much. Overall, this experience greatly deepened

While Brooks’s work is only a loose adaptation of the classic novel by Mary Shelley, it is worth noting that this specific theme – that moral character is unfairly judged by appearance – transcended both versions. Perhaps Brooks, like the audience that first read Frankenstein, realized that judgment by appearance is one of the most developed themes of the original novel, and one that continues to be the most poignant. Throughout the novel of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley argues that society unfairly judges by appearance, casting out anything that is socially

Any knowing person would not have let a couple with an overflowing cart cut in front of them in a checkout line. This was the only way that she could get anyone to agree to her outrageous request.
