The main theme of The Pearl is greed and how it breeds nothing but pain to those who are affected by it, it can be seen throughout the entire story, from when Kino beats his wife Juana, the priests swarming his house when they discover his new discovery, to the way someone who is supposed to be as selfless as a doctor treats patients he deems lesser. However, the real plot behind The Pearl tells the story of a man how the sudden experience of wealth corrupts his soul and causes him to turn on those he loves. The Pearl by John Steinbeck appears to be a story about a man and his quest to save his son and create financial stability for his family. A pearl that seems so pure, so innocent that it seems as if nothing evil can come from it.
When wanting spirals into destruction, a family is broken apart, shattered by a rare discovery.
