The Pearl Characters Pen Portrait

Pen Portraits-The Pearl Juana- Juana is a very spring chicken lady and she has just had her first child. In the starting of the book, she is very unruffled and does non speak much. Towards the end of the book she is a lot more(prenominal) aggressive and speaks more than she used to. Her attitude changes and she stays by kino whatever happens. An example is when kino gum has killed a man she helps him hide the stone-dead body instead of telling bothone of the crime. Steinbeck also writes that when she carries out her way of exercise set Coyotito by putting the poultice on his sting, she does not lay down any faith in her technique and thinks that they should go to the doctor.This is the proof that tells us that she has a dependable belief in authority. At the end of the book, she becomes very persistent and this stubbornness leads to her sons ending. When gum kino tells Juana that she should hide with Coyotito to stay safe, she says no three times without any hesitation or weakness. This is an example of her stubbornness. If she would have hidden with Coyotito, the consequences could have differed. My opinion of Kino is that she was a very strong character and had a very large roll to play in this book.Her roll was not only protecting Coyotito, but she was also Kinos largest support. Kino- Kino is a young man who thinks he give make everything after he gets the pearl. He has also many ambitions such as sending his son to school, getting married, and having a rifle. He tells his ambitions to all the villagers and the priest becomes even greedier after hearing what he gouge do with just a Pearl. Although the priest cannot do anything wrong as he is a religious man, the doctor can. He also sets himself some ambitions such as drinking wine in a rich restaurant.But to achieve his ambitions he must have the pearl. He tries to seal it but is not successful. Kino knows that on the way to achieving his ambitions he will have to face evil but he is to o greedy and the greed makes him blind. any he can see are his ambitions. His foolishness is also a reason of his sons death. If he would have sold it for 1500 pesos than his sons death could have been avoided, but as I have written, greed can make a person blind. In my opinion, Kino was trapped by the pearl and he can do nothing to get rescue himself from the pearls invisible trap.It is not every day that a man gets lucky. And when Kino gets lucky, he wants to make too much from the luck and this teaches him a lesson you should perpetually be happy with what you have. Juan Tomas- Juan Tomas is Kinos bigger associate and his wife is Apolonia. Juan Tomas warns Kino about the consequences of what the pearl could do. Kino does not take heed to his brother and very unfortunate consequences follow. For example, Juan Tomas says there is a devil in this pearl but Kino knows this but instead of throwing it away, he keeps it as a hope, he keeps it as his soul.When Kino kills a man in se lf-defense, Juan Tomas and Apolonia hide Kinos family. This shows us that Juan Tomas nature is very utile although he knows that he is helping a criminal who could be displace to jail or even executed, he remembers that he is Kinos brother and should always stay as a support for him and his family From my opinion, He is a very humble man and seems happy with his post in his life yet, he understands Kino and why he wants to earn too much from the pearl. Juan Tomas, although he has a very short part to play, it is dormant a very important one.
