WHY WAS CURLEY SO JEALOUS?

The only reason that I find to the question was that Curley's wife who's name is never mentioned in the novel is the only woman in the farm where George and Lennie arrive. By being the only female in the farm Curley is afraid that maybe other ranch-men will hand out with her so during the novel the ranch-men don't want to be with her. Also Curley likes ti begin fights usually with big guys so the rest will feel fear of him and be far of his wife and also that he was the son of the boss to gain more authority.
