The Pearl was great but oh so depressing...It's surprising how one "blessing" can totally ruin someone's life.

I LOVED East of Eden and was mesmerized by The Grapes of Wrath; can anyone suggest Steinbeck's next best novel?

I believe Kino's transformation comes from the bad guys' actions against him once he gets the pearl. The death of his son by the end of the story is the punchline for this transformation.
Kino is, before he finds the pearl, a family man, but once he's "possessed" by the pearl he seems to forget about his family's welfare in order to get more money for them selling the gem -paradoxically-. He's back as family man when his beloved son perishes.

Hey everyone. I was wondering how Kino's character changed throughout the story? Why did it?
