= = = Eva’s Edit for Meaning: =  Is being beauty a kind of threat too? In the novel ”Of Mice and Men”, there is a character, Curley’s wife. She is a dangerously attractive woman in the ranch. She is full of loneliness and disappointment, because of that, she started to acting and looking like a villain. In the novel, Steinbeck’s victims look or act like villains, as a form of self-protection. The reason of being a villain is so farfetched, you may said another reason about why she became a villain or change a better word to describe her. But the situation of your essay is good to attract people to read.

People who are lonely get insane and desire for people’s attention. For instance, Curley’s wife likes to talk to people but people avoid her, so she needed to use some extreme method to make them to talk to her. In the novel, Curley’s wife said this: “I could get you strung up on a tree so easy it ain't even funny." She said this because she wanted to join the conversation but Crooks doesn’t let anybody to go into his room. On top of that, Crooks think that she’s a villain too. As a result she threatened him that she actually can fire him. She feels lonely at the house by herself, because she doesn’t have any friends and she hasn’t having a formal conversation since she married Curley, so she forgot how to treat a person well. And all she got is power and beauty, and she doesn’t know how to use it properly. So she’s trying to get people’s attention and just having a simple conversation with them. Because of loneliness she packed up herself with authority power, so at least she can get people’s attention from it. The explain is good, but actually I think you can use some new sentence to say the “lonely” because when I read it, it sounds like [|repetition]. You use two paragraph said how people avoid her but your point is she used extra way let people talk to her, she is a bad person, you don’t show the reader how the way she used, what she did for them, so it is a little confused for reader to know what the actually meaning of the paragraph. People think she’s a villain because she uses her power to attract people’s attention. Curley’s wife always dressing up with her best dresses and trying to attract other workers in the ranch. In the novel, “She put her hands behind her back and leaned against the door frame so that her body was thrown forward.” She was trying to fascinate George and Lennie, and it worked on Lennie, but George awarded her as a villain right away. Curley’s wife wants to be attractive so she always wears full make-ups and wears her best clothes every day. Those attitudes made other workers in the ranch think that she’s a villain and she will bring troubles to them, so they started to avoid her. And those attitudes let her down. Because of her way to get people’s attention, people get misunderstanding about her. People think that she is dangerous. Her beauty makes others afraid of her and because of that people naturally think that she is a villain. The circulate in the novel shows why she did crazy things, you can write this point in your sentence. You just said the fact and you need a main word to these. And I think you can say more about what troubles made by Curley’s wife bring to them so that they avoid her. The evidence may can show the reason about why they avoid her.

But she’s actually a victim. Curley’s wife used to have a dream, but since she married Curley, not only her dream has been destroyed, but also her whole life has been totally destroyed. She said : ”I don’t like Curley. He ain’t a nice fell… When they had them previews I coulda went to them, an’ spoke in the radio, an’ it wouldn’ta cost me a cent because I was in the pitcher. An’ all them nice clothes like they wear. Because this guy says I was a natural.” There was an actor came to her and he gave her a hope, told she could be a famous actress, but he never came back. She wanted to be an actor, but the era of that time was a harsh time for women. But a man gave her a hope told that she could be a famous actress, but no matter how she waited she didn't get any contact. Later she married a man, Curley, she didn't like him but she had no choice, after the marriage Curley kept her in the house, so that she can't talk to anyone. Loneliness made her became acting like a villain, actually she has been tortured by the society so that she became miserable and started to blame the world. So Curley’s wife tried to get people’s attention so that she could avoid the loneliness. But people don’t understand her. So Curley’s wife became acting like a villain because of the scar in her heart. I don’t understand the third paragraph. That’s not because of your description, it just the meaning in the whole essay. Your point is she is villain, but you also said she may a victim. Maybe she really was but it doesn’t have any supply for this essay. People can get any kind of emotional wounds, they need to be understudied by the others. Just like Curley’s wife they can get misunderstand. There are many kind of people in this world, generally, they can be divided by villains and victims. But whatever they are, they need to be looked through their heart. They are usually not the person who they look like. You want to write the deep meaning of this character, but I think the conclusion need more attention. Your explain need more extra words.
