Hey Julianna,
I also agree with you that Lennie didn’t want to kill Curley’s wife and pup on purpose because he doesn’t truly know his own strength. I think that Curley’s wife mom didn’t let her daughter get the job because maybe she thought that women were supposed to stay home and do the housework. Another reason could be that her mother wanted her to marry Curley because she thought Curley was a good guy and would give her daughter what she deserved. Likewise, the mom might have doubted that her daughter would be famous in the future and didn’t want her feelings to get hurt if she didn’t succeed.
Steinbeck might have chosen rabbits because probably when he was younger he wanted to have a rabbit(s), but never got the opportunity. Maybe, Steinbeck’s favorite animal is a rabbit. I think Curley’s wife never had a name because probably the author couldn’t come up with a name that would describe her and would make it a little harder for the reader to cope with the idea that she had died. Like if she was a real person with a name and all.
