Curley's Wife: How to get a grade 9 in Of Mice and Men IGCSE English Literature (Edexcel)

[@saxha2591]

your videos are really helpful. One thing i remember from my class was the quote "ostrich feathers" is showing how she cant escape because an ostrich is a flightless bird. thanks for your videos

Thanks for sharing that! A great idea that you could reference in an essay on Curley's Wife or in any essay about how far the characters are trapped 👍

I love how you offered different perspectives my teacher mainly focused on her flirting and loneliness he never even mentioned that the red could be danger this video is brilliant

I'm glad you found it helpful. Another tip is to use the word 'could' when describing what John Steinbeck's intentions - for example 'John Steinbeck could have used the colour red to represent danger to foreshadow the destruction that her presence will bring to George and Lennie's lives'. The word 'could' signifies to the examiner that you understand their are multiple interpretations but that this is your perspective. All the best in the exam!

thank you so much. I loved learning about curleys wfe. I think the fact taht she is commodified using curleys name is significant as it then reveals the mysoginistic and harsh world to women at the time

[@LikeAnExpertRevision]

Totally agree. Just by never giving us her name, John Steinbeck shows us how she is unable to express her identity independently to being Curley's Wife. Such a simple but effective technique.
