Curley and Curley's wife

I believe that Curley's wife isn't loyal or faithful to Curley because in part two, Candy says that "she got the eye", and he also says that she "give Slim the eye" and she "give Carlson the eye" (28). This basically means that she is flirting with guys on the ranch. In the later pages in part two, Curley's wife comes into the room with Lennie, George, and Candy. When she comes in, she says she's "lookin' for Curley", but then "she put her hands behind her back and leaned against the door frame so that her body was thrown forward". (31). This shows that Curley's wife is now flirting with George, Candy, and Lennie, and that she isn't being faithful to her own husband. I think that this might be another reason why Curley is mad at Lennie because he is actually mad at his wife for not being loyal, so Curley wants to take it out on someone else.
