My question is rather simple. In fact, it's in the title and requires almost no explanation. We can see throughout literature the use of names and title. For example in _Of Mice and Men_ we can observe that in the duration of the novel Curly's Wife is **only** referred to as Curly's Wife, clearly showing his ownership of her as well as a few other things. There are other examples (many that I can think of right now are from _Of Mice and Men_. * * * - What can you achieve by naming your character in a way that implies a deeper meaning? - What are good ways to do this? - What will the readers response to this be? What kind of effect can it have on the reader if done well?
