The novel approach themes like racism, porvety homelessness, exploitation , loneless, taking dreams, several social class in failure. Curley’s wife is define on this novel as a beautiful and danger girl, that had her dream of become a Hollywood Star silent by the also dreamer, Lennie; on this time a smallest and totally opposite of Curley’wife dream, which result in his death too.
