In ‘The Pearl’ by way of John Steinbeck, we analyze the depth of lifestyles and their wants. Kino, his partner Jauna, and their child boy, Coyotito, are the core of this magnificently written tale. One day the couple heads out in their canoe to hunt for oysters, however, they find the pearl of the world. It used to be the exceptional pearl everyone had ever seen, but that is what has ended them and their flawlessly easy life. In the end, what ruins us comes down to greed and hatred. The blame is all on the shoulders of the sins of Kino and his society.
Kino, the predominant character, is a handyman, but only in the beginning. As said before, the pearl of all pearls is discovered. The family sees the pearl as hope. A risk for education and a greater luxurious lifestyle. This majestic white embodiment of greed drives every person in the small village into a frenzy of jealousy. ‘No one shall take our ideal fortune from us(57).’ They think this is a blessing, alternatively, it is truly the catalyst to their downfall.
Greed, the most recognized root of hatred, all-consuming, entices Kino into the hatred, violence, and wishes of the world. This drives a once effortless man to viciously kill 4 men. This is all for the pearl. ‘This was an evil past thinking. The killing of a man used to be now no longer so evil as the killing of a boat. For a boat does now not have sons, and a boat can’t protect itself, and a wounded boat does no longer heal. There used to be sorrow in Kino’s rage, on the other hand, this closing trouble had tightened his previous breaking. He was an animal now, for hiding, for attacking, and he lived solely to maintain himself and his household (80).’ The song of the pearl in Kino’s thought drives him mad with wants, needs, and hatred. He has given in to the evil of the gem.
Hatred, or as some human beings refer to it evil, is the compass of our inner beings. Inside, all humans need is to be loved or noticed. Sometimes when that need is lacking, can electricity us to do crazy things, such as kill a fellow man. ‘This pearl has turned out to be my soul. . . If I provide it up, I shall lose my soul (87)’ Kino, in his closing moments demonstrated his proper interior self. Greed, loneliness, and hatred. ‘I will combat this thing. I will win over it. We will have our chance. His fist pounded the sound asleep mat. No one shall take our splendid fortune from us.’ Kino said(57).’ The irony of this quote gives me chills, in the hair-raising way that he is death-bound to combat his internal self, however, motives for the tragic death of his appreciated son.
The blame all lands on the sins of Kino and his society.
