In Chapter Two, we learn that the boss can be mean, but in general he's a pretty nice guy.

Curley is described as a little guy with brown face, brown eyes, and a head of tightly wound curls. He's loud, tough, and has experience boxing as a lightweight. Curley also likes to pick fights with men who are bigger than he is...... thus, Lennie is an obvious target.

Curley's wife is also described in the second chapter. We're told she's pretty, newly married, and has the "eye", meaning she looks at other men..... she's flirtacious.
