Marrying the first guy who smiles at you at the Riverside
Dance Palace wasn't an uncommon event in those days, where marriage wasn't just for
love, but a way to get out of the house into perhaps some security, especially with the
son of a ranch owner. Married life, especially to a guy like Curley, isn't all she
expected.
I do feel a bit sorry for her, because of the
status of women at the time, as possessions to order around and to keep in the house.
The fact she doesn't have a name in the story says, I think, a
lot.
