Kino should destroy the pearl because it has brought only misfortune and tragedy to his family. The pearl has only caused greed, violence, and division among his community, ultimately leading to the death of his son. Destroying the pearl represents breaking free from its negative influence and finding true peace and happiness.
Kino loves the pearl because it offers his poor family a new and richer way of life. If they could sell it for a lot of money, then he could be married in the church, have new clothes, have his son go too school, and have a harpoon and a rifle. He loves it almost too much, so much to the point of losing touch with the man he once was. A man not full of greed, but love for family. He hurts his wife and kills a man to protect the pearl, he becomes like an animal. In the last two chapters of the book, there are many comparisons of his family to animals.(Coyotito's name is a hint...)
