In the book ';Of Mice and Men';, which character had it the worst?

explain why! thanks! :}In the book ';Of Mice and Men';, which character had it the worst?
Curley's Wife was the character who had it the worst in the entire novel. Although the other characters were poor and had to work as ranch hands, Curley's Wife didn't even get a name.





Every time she tried to do something, there was always an obstacle in her way. When she was younger, it was her mother, who prevented her from being an actress.





When she got older, she was married off to Curley, who controlled what she was and was not allowed to do. The reason why she sought so much attention from the farm hands was because no one cared about her at home or anywhere else. Being a woman in the 1940's, she would always have to be tied to a man and would never get the opportunity to make something of herself.In the book ';Of Mice and Men';, which character had it the worst?
How dare u call Lennie an idiot, he has mental retardation which is something a person is born with, and have no control over. Calling Lennie an idiot is disrespectful to the mentally retarded and mankind as well, i suggest you apologize before your words hurt others with siblings or relatives with mental retardation
Curley's wife.


1 she's never given a name, only used in reference to Curley.


2 she's killed by a grotesque idiot man child. (lennie)


3 while she was alive she was constantly lonley and unhappy with her marriage.





edit - bote, i suggest unless you have an answer to this question you do not spam. (fyi - i got the direct quote ';idiot man child'; from my teacher. lennie was never dignosed, he could just be really stupid. so. back. off.)
To me it was Lenny because he was a big and ignorant man who acted like a child. He was very strong and at the end he killed a woman and his friend put a bullet in his brain.
Curley's wife.


She was lonely and had an idiot for a husband. Whenever she tried to find someone to talk to (because she was lonely), they all thought she was trying to seduce them or get them into trouble.
