What is ironic about Curley's wife's statment: "They left all the weak ones here."
Curley's wife's statement, "They left all the weak ones here," is ironic because during that time period women were considered weak and unimportant. When she came in she acted like she was superior to them, but in reality she was one of the least superior characters in the book. When Curley's wife walked in the doorway she looked down on the men. "She stood still in the door way, smiling a little at them, rubbing the nails of one hand with the thumb and the forefinger of the other. And her eyes traveled from one face to another." This quote shows how she not only talked like she was more important than Crooks, Lennie, and Candy, but she acted like it too.
