The Pearl

Kino sees his family becoming rich and sees hope for Coyotito in the pearl. He sees Coyotito going to school, learning how to read and write, and making it out of this scorpion bite alive.

Juana sees jealousy, greed, and destruction in the pearl. She just wants the pearl destroyed, for it is bringing a deep, burning jealousy out of many others, as well as greed.

The doctor sees money, money, and more money in the pearl, for he is the one that'll supposedly cure Coyotito. If he doesn't poison him...

Their neighbors see Kino's family becoming healthy, rich, and educated townspeople. That makes them extremely jealous and angry towards Kino. They all believe that they were put on this Earth by God Almighty and meant to be peasants, but they are mad at Kino for trying to be something he never thought he was going to be.

The townspeople are all curious as they are jealous. They all want to see how much money Kino gets for this gigantic pearl, but they also want all of that money.

The priest knows that Kino was blessed by the almighty Lord to find that pearl, and for that he is happy towards Kino. But he also has the same feelings as everyone else-greed and envy.
