Curley's wife's statement: "They left all the weak ones here." was ironic because the people that were left there were not the weak ones but the strongest people here. They were the lowest on the social ladder though. According to the previous chapter, Lennie proved that he was very strong, stronger than other people because he crushed Curley's hand. The other people in the room were also pretty strong. Curley's wife might have thought that they were the weak ones because they all had one disability or another. Lenny had a mental disease, Candy lost his hand and Crooks was black. They were all outcasts of the ranch and Curley's wife might be referring to this.
