| 464135 | 2006-06-18 12:09:00 | Google helps explain this, with one persons analysis of the lady so described (Curley's wife). "Curley's Wife feels she must dress this way for people to acknowledge her and give her attention. Her dressing-up is entirely unnecessary because they live on a farm and this is not the typical clothing. The way she dresses/makes herself up proves her insecurity and her inability to feel good about who she really is. Curley's Wife dresses inappropriately along with acting in flirtatious ways. This is another attempt for the attention she believes she does not get. Her coyness is obvious when she ...".. put her hands behind her back and leaned against the door frame so that her body was thrown forward". Curley does not give his wife the love and affection that she desires. This makes her seek it from other people. By not talking to anyone and constantly worrying about what Curley will do, she has attained a slyness that does not appeal to anyone on the ranch. Acting in flirtatious ways is the only way Curley's Wife thinks she can deal with her loneliness." I see this type of activity every day on the ranch here as well ... |

".. could someone please draw her out?" - As Jen has pointed out, the "out" is unnessecary here, it should just be "could someone please draw her" |

| 464138 | 2006-06-18 21:50:00 | There is the big difference between a book and a film. A book can leave a lot to the imagination or interpretation. You can fill in the blanks for yourself. A film gives you the interpretation of the book from the directors point of view and often leaves little which you can imagine. What would be the difference between two movies both entitled "Of mice and men."? Let us assume Hitchcock directed one and Cecil B. DeMille did the other. |

| 464140 | 2006-06-18 23:58:00 | Remember too James that this is a period piece and the characters are not going to fit current styles or even opinions of what is decent or obscene. Dressed and coiffed as Curley's wife was, she was probably an immature party girl and resented being hooked up to Curley anyway, so she was..er.... .."advertising" her wares in the possible hope that Curley's demise was just over the horizon and she could then be free to exercise some options. :nerd: |

| 464142 | 2006-06-19 11:44:00 | I have found a website that has an illustration of Curley's Wife based on what the book says. www.bbc.co.uk Cheers :) |

| 464143 | 2006-06-19 11:46:00 | Draw her out ...? Well OK then, here goes! Listen up Lady! Yes, you! The one dressed like a tart with bad fashion taste! Come on out with your hands up! This is the fashion police here! You are under arrest! OK, that didn't work ... LOL :lol: That gave me a few chuckles yesterday night. Cheers :) |
