Steinbeck is showing that the American culture is one large paradox. We strive for greatness and think that we are the greatest country on the earth, but we complain about how our country is weak and dishonest.

The paradox in "The Pearl" by John Steinbeck is that the pearl, which was supposed to bring wealth and happiness to Kino and his family, ultimately brings destruction and tragedy. This highlights how material wealth can lead to greed, violence, and loss of innocence.

Mainly Steinbeck speaks of how America and the "American way of life" is one big paradox. We all seem to think our country and government is the best of its kind and we want to spread it to other countries, yet at the same time we believe our government is weak and corrupt.
