Human beings are inherently greedy. Show the validity of this statement with reference to John Steinbeck's The Pearl

Although, I cannot write your essay for you, I can give you some quotes from the novel.

'I, I alone in the world am supposed to work for nothing - and I am tired of it. See if he has any money!' (Doctor)

'The doctor looked past his aged patient and saw himself sitting in a restaurant in Paris and a waiter was just opening a bottle of wine.' (Doctor)

'It came to the priest walking in his garden, and it put a thoughtful look in his eyes and a memory of certain repairs necessary to the church.' (Priest)

'The news came early to the beggars in front of the church, and it made them giggle a little with pleasure, for they knew that there is no almsgiver in the world like a poor man who is suddenly lucky.'

'Every man suddenly became related to Kino's pearl, and Kino's pearl went into the dreams, the speculations, the schemes, the plans, the futures, the wishes, the needs, the lusts, the hungers, of everyone, and only one person stood in the way and that was Kino, so that he became curiously every man's enemy.'
