The atmosphere of the ranch and the bunkhouse is both negative and positive. I think this because sometimes George does not get along with some of the other workers, which might cause a conflict. In the book it states, "George stood still, watching the angry little man." and also "Curley scowled at him..." These quotes show the relationship between George and Curley. These two men do not get along with each other and I think that the reason is because they both like to have smart remarks towards others. Their habit of smart talking might cause them to get into an argument.
On the other hand, the atmosphere is also positive. I think this because it seems as if George and Lennie get along with Slim. In the story it states, "'You guys travel around together?'" Slim had asked George and Lennie why they travelled together. The fact that he said it in a kind voice, unlike The Boss, made George realize that he could tell him.
I think the reason that Curley's wife does not have a name is because John Steinbeck probably wants the reader to imagine someone they know that is like Curley's wife. Steinbeck wants the person reading to make a connection as to who this character reminds them of. I do not think that there is a message that John Steinbeck is trying to give to the readers. The reason that I said that John Steinbeck wants the reader to imagine Curley's wife to be someone they know, is because Steinbeck is really descriptive when he introduced her into the story.
