Translated version
Curley's Wife
Description: The only woman on the ranch, young, attractive, but unhappy and lonely. The other men consider her provocative and dangerous. Role: She symbolizes broken dreams and the position of women in contemporary society. She has no name, which emphasizes her devaluation as a person. Although initially she appears to be a negative character, it eventually becomes clear that she is just as lonely and trapped a victim as the others.

Kerlio žmona (Curley's Wife)
Aprašymas: Vienintelė moteris rančoje, jauna, patraukli, bet nelaiminga ir vieniša. Kiti vyrai ją laiko provokuojančia ir pavojinga. Vaidmuo: Ji simbolizuoja sudaužytas svajones ir moterų padėtį to meto visuomenėje. Ji neturi vardo, kas pabrėžia jos, kaip asmenybės, nuvertinimą. Nors iš pradžių atrodo neigiama veikėja, galiausiai paaiškėja, kad ji yra tokia pat vieniša ir įstrigusi auka kaip ir kiti.
