The Pearl

we do learn about the pearls symbolism by the reaction it evokes. The pearl symbolizes riches, greed, and jealousy. People wished that they were the ones that had the pearl, and not Kino.

The human characteristics the pearl brings out in :
Kino: The pearl brings out overjoyment, and wanting too much, because right when he finds the pearl,all he can think of is what he wants.
Juana:The pearl doesn't change Juana. instead, she feels that it is cursed when kino gets hurt.
Neighbors: The pearl has changed the neighbors to be foes instead of the friends that they used to be. they feel that they should have the pearl.
The Doctor: hates kino for finding the pearl. He thinks that kinos people are animals, and do not deserve something like the pearl. the doctor tries to cheat for some money from the pearl.
The Priest: Brings greed and jealousy. when he comes to Kino's house, Kino hears the song of evil playing.
The townspeople: Like others, are greedy,and jelous. and want the pearl for themselves.
