Best Answer

The pearl grows evil and creates problems for the family. It makes Kino hit Juana and it indirectly, of course, kills their son Coyotito.

____

The Pearl doesn't do anything. Because it is of great value, people lust after it, hurting the family as well as them screwing up their own lives because of it. But a pearl is an inanimate object, and it can't cause people to take actions. It is only the way that we feel about an object, and a choice to take an action about it, that causes anything.

In John Steinbeck's novel "The Pearl," the pearl symbolizes wealth and hope for a better life for the protagonist, Kino, and his family. However, as the story progresses, the pearl also brings destruction and tragedy, highlighting the corrupting influence of greed and materialism. Ultimately, the pearl serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of pursuing riches at the expense of one's values and humanity.
