The Music of The Pearl

The last line in the pearl means that when the music started to fade that the evil was fading with it. The pearl symbolized the greed and evil in a town filled with oppression and the pearl just brought all of that to the surface. Once the pearl faded into the ocean you realize that's where it wanted to be all along and that the effect of a new perception on life towards the family was changing once again. This was something the family learned from, something when they realized that the pearl didn't belong in their hands and that it was back where it belongs. The effect the pearl had on the town was the oppression. You saw the oppression when you read the book, but it was never really out in the open, when Kino and Juana show the pearl to the town you see the greed and the arguments coming forward. The pearl showed anger and greed and evil, that was disguised as happiness and hope and luckiness that the family saw. You really start to see the evil in the actions of Kino and the change of personality of the family and everyone around them. As the pearl and music fades away into the sea the evil, greed and anger fades with it and the family is left with nothing, but the most important part is that they have the lesson to learn from.
