would not turn Kino’s head, would not make a rich man of him, would not graft onto him the evil limbs of greed and hatred and coldness. For Kino was a
well-liked man; it would be a shame if the pearl destroyed him. ‘That good wife Juana,’ they said,
‘and the beautiful baby Coyotito, and the others to come. What a pity it would be if the pearl should
destroy them all” (Steinbeck 43).

The pearlsymbolic level of interpretation.
The pearl is a pearl of great price
represents the vanity of human wishes
Kino can do all the things that he has never dared to do before.
Steinbeck's warning is to symbolize the evil, and only by casting it away can Kino regain a spiritual sense of
well-being.
The pearlsymbolic level of interpretation.
SONGSwhenever Kino has a particularly
powerful feeling or instinct, he hears a song in his head that corresponds
to that feeling. When he is happy : he hears the
Song of the Family. When he senses malice or
dishonesty: he hears the Song of Evil.
the songs actually give form to kino and his people’s inner feelings.

WHAT IS SIGNIFICANT ABOUT THE LOCATION…WHY THE GULF?
"The uncertain air that magnified some things and blotted out others hung over the whole Gulf
so that all sights were unreal and vision could not be trusted; so that sea and land had the sharp
clarities and the vagueness of a dream."

life and death and the meaning of both. During the course of the story, a simple family, through no particular
fault, is brought to a tragic end. Their pearl is supposed to be used to bring their child out of darkness and into the world of light; he will be able to learn to read and write, and he will
then be able to help all of the natives. Instead, the pearl becomes the direct
instrument of the child's death.
The pearlRECAP!
major conflict :After finding a magnificent pearl, Kino seeks to sell it to acquire wealth. He wishes for his son’s wound to heal,
and for his son to obtain an education and become an equal to the European
colonists who keep his people in a state of ignorance and poverty. When
he tries to sell the pearl, however, Kino quickly meets resistance in the
form of other people’s greed. Ultimately, his struggle to acquire wealth places him at odds with his
family, his culture, and nature, as Kino himself succumbs to greed and
violence.

unsuccessful, and he is mysteriously attacked; Kino beats Juana for
