Of Mice and Men Why does Curleys wife want to talk to lennie? Chapter 5 Asked by Megan K #515198 on 3/31/2016 9:16 PM Last updated by Aslan on 3/31/2016 9:22 PM
Curley's wife is desperately lonely. The men on the ranch stay away from her for fear of getting fired. Lennie is easy to draw in and manipulate into talking to her.
