1. “He said, 'I am a man,' and that meant certain things to Juana. It meant that he was half insane and half god.” At the beginning, Kino was happy with what he had, he was calm and also peaceful, then at the end of the story he was the complete opposite
2.  "Juana watched him with worry, but she knew him and she knew she could help him best by being silent and by being near. And as though she too could hear the Song of Evil, she fought it, signing softly the melody of the family, of the safety and warmth and wholeness of the family." Juana represents the traditional loving, obedient, and forgiving wife. Her strength comes from her love for her family. For Juana, every decision she makes is in the best interest of her husband Kino and her son Coyotito, even when Kino does not agree.
