In the novel, The Pearl, family plays a huge role throughout the story. Kino’s family has stuck with him through everything. Even after he beat his own wife, she still stuck by his side and never left him. Although Kino was in trouble and people were “hunting” him his brother Juan Tomas still hides him in his house. The loyalty of Juana and Juan Tomas made Kino want to keep moving forward until he received the reasonable amount of money for his pearl. First of all, it was wrong for Juan Tomas to hide his brother from the law but then again, it is hard to betray family when they have stuck with you through thick and thin. It would be hard to say no to family even if you know they have done something wrong and it will cost you your life.
