Kino- ("Hush," he said fiercely. "I am a man. Hush." And she was silent, for his voice was command.) This sentence shows how Kino is transforming from a kind, reserved, peaceful man to a paranoid, vicious, and aggressive man.  In the beginning of the story, Kino was happy and at peace in life, until Coyotito was stung by the scorpion and the doctor refused to help them. When he first was looking for the pearl he had good intentions to only save his son, when he found the pearl the people around him started to change and become greedy. It started to change Kino and make him less of a good man.

Juana- ("The two came from the rutted country road into the city, and they were not walking in single file, Kino ahead and Juana behind, as usual, but side by side.") This quote characterizes how Juana has changed from the beginning of the novel to the end. In the beginning she only wanted to please her husband but as the story comes to an end she begins to become independent. More importantly she becomes equal to Kino which is why they stood side by side.

External Conflict- "Kino's hand leaped to catch it, but it fell past his fingers, fell on the baby's shoulder, landed and struck." This represents man v.s. nature.

"You must. It is the wise thing and it is my wish," he said. "No," said Juana." This represents situational irony because Juana's people's customs are to listen to the man of the house.
"The trackers scuttled along, stopping, looking, and hurrying on" This represents situational irony because the trackers that are expected to find then missed their trail.

One major symbol in The Pearl would be the pearl itself. In the beginning of the story the pearl was hope for Kino and his family because the money that came from the pearl could save Coyotito. As the story progresses the pearl becomes a type of evil that changed Kino, then ended up changing the family forever.

The theme of this story is being thankful of what you have it is better than not having anything at all. This theme can apply to the modern world by not always complaining about what we don't have or taking to much of what we already have because this can lead to greediness or envy. Greed and envy can cause loss and hurt to others. This could also cause loss and hurt to yourself.
