This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.
Read Of Mice and Men
, by John Steinbeck
Curley, George, and Lennie are all mentioned by name. What are we to infer from who gets called by name and who doesn’t?
Answer: Curley’s wife’s name is the only one that is never revealed because she´s treated as a possession, an object, instead of a person.
Explanation:
Curley’s wife not getting ever called by her name, and being called a “tramp,” a “tart,” and a “looloo,” makes it clear that she has no independence or even her own identity, like most women in the 1930s ranch setting. She´s defined only by her subordinate position as Curley’s wife, despite hating her life with him and losing her identity.
