In the novel "The Pearl" by John Steinbeck, the title itself refers to the pearl of great price that Kino finds. This pearl symbolizes wealth and opportunity for Kino and his family, as well as the destructive power of greed and envy. Another reference to a pearl of great price can be seen when Kino's neighbors and even the doctor covet the pearl for their own selfish purposes.
