Kino is the one of the main character. He is important in the novel because all the novel is surround when he gain a pearl, every person is greed and want the pearl. I don’t like to be the main character (Kino) because he’s life is frustration and tragedy. I like the Kino for a friend because Kino is a responsible people and he’s not greed. When he gain a pearl immediately thinks of all the advantages which it will provide for his family and he desires no real personal gain.

One of the great appeals of The Pearl lies in the beautiful and simplistic way that Kino is characterized. Whose life is lived close to the simple harmony of the natural world. He’s profession is a simple pearl diver-requires him to be constantly close to nature, and he is constantly affected by natural events.

The harmony of his life is also evident in his relationship with his wife (Juana), in his devotion to his son, in his kinship with his brother, and in his respect for the traditions of the village. Toward Juana, his wife, he is protective and concerned. He would sacrifice his life for her: yet when she crosses him by trying to throw away the pearl, he can be quite severe with her. When they are trying to escape the trackers, Kino is constantly concerned about Juana and Coyotito’s (his son) safety. At one point, he is always willing to protect Juana and Coyotito.

Part of Kino’s tragedy is that his entire life is built mainly around his love for his son. Earlier, when the scorpion bit his son, Kino felt helpless because he had no money with the doctor. Then , when he discovery of the pearl, Kino immediately thinks of all the advantages which it will provide for his son. For himself , Kino desires no real personal gain. From the total frustration caused by the scorpion’s bite to the elation caused by the discovery of the pearl, Kino’s thoughts are always directed toward his son’s welfare.

Kino have experienced all of the emotions common to mankind-the contentment of the family, the joy and elation of discovering a great treasure, the fears when the family’s lives are threatened, the anxiety of being hunted, and the tragedy of losing a loved one. Kino is a universal person-one who has passed from innocence through evil, and yet has survived reaffirm his manhood by voluntarily throwing the pearl back into the Gulf.
