The Music of The Pearl.

The last line shows that Kino and Juana are no longer under the influence of the pearl, and the greed and evil that it brought to their family is now gone. I think the music foreshadowed events and also set the mood for the situation. But the music changed for the pearl throughout the story. In the beginning, the pearl gave off beautiful music. By the end though, the pearl produced music of evil. I think this shows that Kino views the pearl as a miracle at first, then he eventually thinks the pearl is complete evil. The pearl affects Kino's family in negative and positive ways. It brings hope and potential to the future of Coyotito, and to Kino and Juana. But it also brings out the human trait of greed, and violence in Kino. The pearl could symbolize many things, but in the society where Kino lives, I think it symbolizes that everything good has some evil. That no matter how valuable the pearl is, it can never be completely good, it must have some evil.
