What are examples of irony in the pearl by John Steinbeck?

Answer 1

-SAME AS #3 (at the end, the trackers think Coyotito's cry is a coyote and it is situational irony)

-the pearl was to be sold to give Coyotito a future, but it ended up killing him and it is situational irony

-SAME AS #1 (the trackers don't know that the cry is coming from Coyotito, not a coyote and this is dramatic irony)

Answer 2

1. The doctor refuses to treat Coyotito for a scorpion bite, yet when Kino finds the pearl, the doctor suddenly becomes interested in helping him.
2. Kino believes the pearl will bring his family wealth and happiness, but it ends up bringing them only tragedy and suffering.
3. Kino and Juana's pursuit of the pearl to improve their lives ultimately leads to the destruction of their family and the loss of their son.

Answer 3

Yes there is. See, kino's number 1 want for the pearl's money was to sell it and send coyotito to school. But the pearl is what lead to his death. Coyotito's name means in Spanish little coyote. The trackers thought coyotito's cry was by a coyote.

Answer 4

The desire to find the pearl is originally brought on by the need for Coyotito to be able to see the doctor, and without a pearl, and the subsequent wealth that it would bring, Kino would not be able to pay the doctor, and Coyotito would die. In the end Coyotito is killed because of Kinos possession of the pearl. If Kino had never found the pearl then his he would never had killed the men that tried to steal it. He would have never had to run away with his wife and son, and they would never have had trackers chasing after them, and Coyotito would never have been shot. The irony is that the thing that would save Coyotito's life ended up being one of the factors that led up to his death.

Answer 5

There are two examples of irony in the pearl Situational and Dramatic. An example of Dramatic irony is “It was supposed to be that the pearl buyers were individuals acting alone, bidding against one another for the pearls the fishermen brought in. And once it had been so.” An example of situational irony is “My son will go to school, We will be married in the church, A rifle he said Perhaps a rifle.”

Answer 6

Im sorry but I have no clue I'm trying to find the answer

Answer 7

It is ironic that despite warning from Juana and Juan Toma's that the pearl is evil and would destroy the family and Coyotito, Kino chooses to pursue his dream at the expense of his family's security. He ends up losing Coyotito who is killed by one of the trackers.
