Sagot :

Answer:

It is a parable about a Mexican Indian pearl diver named Kino who finds a valuable pearl and is transformed by the evil it attracts. Kino sees the pearl as his opportunity for a better life. When the townsfolk of La Paz learn of Kino's find, he is immediately set upon by a greedy priest, a doctor, and businessmen.

At the end of the novella, Kino and Juana return to their town with their son's body and fling the cursed pearl back into the sea. In the year 1900 in the village of La Paz on the coast of the Baja Peninsula in Mexico a pearl diver named Kino awakens in his bed.

The Pearl is based on his personal convictions, and based the story on the biblical parable of a pearl of great price. In this story, a jewel for which the merchant trades everything he owns becomes the metaphor for Heaven.

The Pearl is a parable, a moral lesson, about gratitude and the dangers of greed. Because parables offer a moral lesson, being grateful for the things one already has serves as the theme.
