She is often left out of the discussions the guys have causing her to be very lonesome. This is portrayed by her constant need to ask where Curley is, but it is apparent to many readers that she has no interest in Curley. According to novella, Curley has made it clear that the men on the ranch may not talk to her without the fear of a beating however that doesn’t stop her. “‘I get lonely,’ she said. ‘You can talk to people, but I can't talk to nobody but Curley. Else he gets mad. How'd you like not to talk to anybody?’” Her cries for somebody to talk to is shown when she said, ‘‘Wha's the matter with me?" she cried. "Ain't I got a right to talk to nobody? Whatta they think I am, anyways? You're a nice guy. I don't know why I can't talk to you. I ain't doin' no harm to you’” (Steinbeck 43)
