Patrick_C1’s Reviews > The Pearl > Status Update

A very common theme within this book is the theme of greed, and how it can change peoples lives. Kino became rich ever since he got the pearl, and everyone in town hates him, because of a valuable pearl. Kino has also become greedy, because of all of the things the pearl did to him; making everyone in town hate him, making Kino feel sad, and under pressure.
