He also feels a natural connection with nature which is the source of his and his family’s daily sustenance. His mind is alert, and he is extremely devoted to his work. He repudiates the oppression the European colonizers are perpetrating against his people. He is also loyal to his people and the traditions which bind him to them as one people. Before he finds a pearl, he is a simple man, content with his life and his love for his wife and child. He is a poor pearl fisherman married to Juana, with whom he has an infant son by the name of Coyotito. The characters’ cultural roots and station in society shape their perception, attitude, and development in the story of ‘ The Pearl‘. An interesting thing about the characters in ‘ The Pearl‘ by John Steinbeck is their affinity to their cultural heritage.
