Curley makes himself a source of conflict for everyone...... he's always in his wife's business, but he won't spend any time with her himself, he's got a small man complex and like to pick fights, he stays on the ranch because it get him what he wants, and he lords it over anyone who will let him. He's like a small troll.........
