Curley’s wife is portrayed as being a whore – but this is only due to the way she dresses, her provocative ways and the way she acts around men, as if she is aware of her femininity. This could suggest that she is only like this because she is bored, like it is something to do – something interesting for a change. She is constantly trying to get people to notice her. But, because of Lennie’s purity and innocence, he doesn’t see her in the way other men do – a sexual object. When Steinbeck quotes “And because she had confided in him, she moved closer to Lennie and sat beside him”, it is clear to the audience that Curley’s Wife is using her sexuality as an object to create some sort of excitement for herself.
Their mother’s cause them to fail in achieving their dreams of a loving male relationship, a decent education and an independent life.

Her mother on the other hand, means so much to her, she doesn't want her to be alone.
They are expected to be obedient and followers of men in their families. For example, Lady Capulet and Lady Montague can do nothing to stop their husbands' anger towards their villains. Lady Montague doesn't care much about the feud between two families as she doesn't want Romeo involved in the fighting. Juliet's character is a clear example of women's role. She has little guidance and help from her family.
It was hard for her to receive so much attention from her father, but have her mother abandon her emotionally. Hadaller wrote “The clear distinction in the novel between Helen’s child Maudie and Milton’s Peyton highlights the intense polarization in the family.”(Hadaller58) It was a twisted situation for the family, Milton choosing Peyton and Helen consuming herself with Maudie. In the end it only caused trouble for everyone. “The dependant Maudie and the fiercely independent Peyton are set up in the novel to dramatize the family’s fracture. Both parents seek to love and adore one child to the exclusion of the
Because their relationship is an affair, they cannot see each other in the way they want to very often and especially not while other people are around. They are not married to each other which make their relationship very wrong in that community and time- more so wrong than it would be now. John Procter understands that their secret must be kept, but finished, but Abigail doesn’t care that they were caught once and could be caught again. She just wants their relationship back and says, “Oh, I marvel, how such a strong man may let such a sickly wife be-” (miller 22) Abigail then comes to claim that Elizabeth, john’s wife, is “Blackening me (her) name in the village!” She is telling lies about me (her)!” (Miller 22) but he just gets angry at himself because it’s true, and threatens to whip her for talking about his wife that
“It’s not enough to take my Bessie without a dowry. You must pay me yet.” Pg 47. Reb takes it upon himself to make sure his girls marry a wealthy and a good young man. By the time Mashah, Bessie, and Fania, get married off and are not happy, Sara decides she wants more for herself. Sara is not going to let her father abuse her like he did the other girls.
So I can definitely say that in this event, she is not so happy about meeting her dad, in fact, she doesn’t even want him to come in to her life. I thought that she would actually never meet him ever again since they made a promise of each other that they would keep out of each other’s lives. But chapter eight tells me that family is crucial no matter what and they don’t have anyone else to rely on. In real life, also you can’t have anyone better to rely on than your family since your family I funds you when you need money and usually trusts and defends each other. On chapter eight, she hits a girl called Carly because she called Josie a ‘wog’.

There is the unnerving suggestion that violence is more willingly accepted by women in a marriage than one would like to believe. Another theme that arises during the play is sex role. During the time period of this play, women had minor roles. Although she is an educated woman who has worked as a teacher, Blanche is nonetheless constrained by the expectations of Southern society. She often depends of men to lean on and protect her.
Lord Capulet’s attitude just suddenly changed because he would rather have a great family reputation instead of his only daughter marrying her love. “Not proud you have, but thankful that you have.
