Introduction
Kino changes because of the pearl. He guards it so much that he becomes obsessed with it and wants to fight anyone who threatens to take it away from him including his wife Juana.
Illustrations
Kino has been a peaceful man since he married Juana. In fact, the two rarely speak and it is only after Kino gets the pearl that they speak a lot for the first time as he is telling Juana about the things he wants for her and Coyotito. He is even afraid of talking as he feels he had never said so many words in his life.
The pearl begins to change Kino. People comment that he is a man transfigured as power had been given to him through the pearl. All he does is think about the pearl. He thinks of the things he can now do with the money that the pearl promises. No one should stand in his way of getting rich. He gets angry when he realizes that the pearl buyers want to cheat him.
When a thief attacks them, Kino is injured and he also injures the attacker. Juana feels that the pearl is evil. She decides to throw it into the sea. He gets her in time and his brain is red with anger. He slaps her hard and kicks her in the side. He is murderous and hisses like a snake with anger.
Later Kino is attacked again and this time he kills his attacker. Juana advises him that they must escape for fear of retribution. In the mountains, Kino kills again as he defends the pearl. He, a man that was once quiet, is now full of violence.
Conclusion
Kino is a man who has become violent. the pearl changes him and he beats his wife, injures a man and kills four others
