Questions on Character

Which character do you dislike? Give reasons with close reference to the text.


Notes:

Character you dislike: The Doctor

Describe the doctor - of a race who had mistreated Kino's race for over 400 years

Reasons:

ignorant doctor - does clumsy abortions - everyone has seen his corpses being sent to the church; only treats the rich in the town

selfish and greedy - refuses to treat Coyotito because Kino had only eight misshapen ugly pearls to pay him - but when he heard that Kino had found the pearl of the world, he claimed that Kino is a client of his and immediately came to Kino's house

cruel - frightens Kino into allowing him to treat Coyotito - gives Coyotito a capsule of white powder which made him sick - came back in a hour and treated him with 3 drops of ammonia. Then, he demanded payment, pretending not to know about the pearl.
