Juana's submission to Kino, followed by her assertion of strength, paints a complex picture of marriage in the narrative. She is the voice of reason, often silenced but ultimately proven right. Her loyalty is tragic; she follows Kino even when she knows he is leading them to ruin. Feminist readings of the text often utilize the pearl pdf to highlight Juana's unrecognized agency. She is the one who tries to throw the pearl away, and she is the one who refuses to leave Kino's side when all is lost. Her silent strength is the emotional anchor of the novella.
