OMAM Theme Women in the novella, Of Mice and Men, were treated terrible and poorly. They had a lower status than men and were only considered as objects and caretakers. For example, Curley’s wife was mistreated, given bad names by the men, and her name was not revealed because she did not own an identity and was nonexistent.
