The Pearl By John Steinbeck

Three Themes in The Pearl The struggle for survival Oppression and social class Corruption by material wealth

Two Essential Questions What makes a family successful? What does greed do to people / turn people into?

The Pearl is a parable. A parable is a short tale that illustrates a universal truth; it is a simple narrative. A parable often involves a character who faces a moral dilemma or one who makes a bad decision and then suffers the unintended consequences. Although the meaning of a parable is often not explicitly stated; it is quite straightforward and obvious. Parables frequently use metaphorical language which allows people to more easily discuss difficult or complex ideas.
