Three quotes that tell you a little bit about Curley's wife;
1: "She had full rouged lips and wide-spaced eyes, heavily made-up. Her fingernails were red. Her hair hung in little rolled clusters, like sausages. She wore a cotton house dress and red mules, on the instep of which were little bouquets of red ostrich feathers."
This quote tells us that Curley's wife is a bit of character, and by that I mean a flirt. She seams to dress up regardless to where she is, for instance, right now she is in the middle of a ranch where there is a ton of dirt, mud, and animals. We can also see that she likes the colour red and she seems to like to show off a bit.
2: "She put her hands behind her back and leaned against the door frame so that her body was thrown forward."
This just further emphasizes that she is quite flirtatious.
3: "Lennies eyes moved over her body, and though she did not seem to be looking at Lennie she bridled a little."
And this just further emphasizes her personality and character.
Overall, from these quotes, we can tell that Curley's wife likes be show off a little, she is very flirtatious, and, as some of the characters call her, a tart.
