One of the main characters George and Lennie run into during the book that has dreams for themselves is Curley’s wife. Curley’s wife, known as the flirtatious “tramp” or “tart,” by all the migrant workers has dreams in her life that are crushed by her husband and mother. Curley’s wife uses her physical appearance as a source of swaying for the other ranch workers. Although she seems to have a trashy first impression, there is more to her than just flirtatious behavior. Her ultimate dream was to be an actress in Hollywood, and pursue her acting career.
Curley's wife talked to the three men that were left behind (Lennie, Crooks, Candy) when everyone went to the brothel about how she wanted her life to go. “I tell you I ain't used to livin’ like this. I coulda made somethin’ of myself” (88). She goes on to talk about a show that came into town and a guy told her she could go with that show and be in “pitchers”. The dream of most women in the late nineteen twenties, early thirties, was to make it big in Hollywood and that in fact was Curley's Wife dream.

The ranch can be considered a microcosm of American life in the 1930s, showing the way that blacks, women, and disabled people were treated at the time. In America throughout the 1930s, people of color had a hard time functioning in society. During the 1930s, Blacks were treated as a lower class than whites
“Many immigrants and refugees have endured significant hardships in their native countries, including poverty, war trauma, persecution and rape," says clinical psychologist Dennis Hunt. "But few may have anticipated the stress on their families that was waiting for them in the United States. This adage can be proven true due to the fact that –having come from foreign area- traditions and perspectives may contrast greatly compared to the natives. Due to this, being accepted into society in multiple aspects of life may prove difficult for most immigrants considering their unfamiliarity in the lifestyle of their adopted home. This may cause numerous obstacles to appear in their life that they may have great difficulty overcoming/adjusting
As defined by the researches and scientists who have pioneered the technique, Ex-Vivo Uterine Development Therapy is the use of “an artificial placenta to provide gas exchange and nutrient delivery to a fetus submerged in an amniotic fluid bath” (Miura et al. 2015).

In the beginning of the story they sit drinking at a table outside a bar, and after a while the woman goes to the end of the station but she soon returns and participates in the dialogue. The man then carries their bags to the other side of the rails before he returns to and goes inside the bar for a drink. As the story ends, the man goes back outside and finishes his dialogue with the woman. The dialogue between the couple tangibly represents the mindset of what has been called The Lost Generation in the “Roaring Twenties”.
Hungry for attention, Curley’s wife pays the men in the barn a visit, only to be pushed away by their cruel comments and harsh words. Offended and unwanted, Curley’s wife turns the tables against Crooks and insults him by saying: “well, you keep your place then, n*****.
