I believe that in The Pearl Juana symbolizes women, and there are many examples of this. One being that she supports her husband throughout the story and cares for their only son Coyotito.
The Doctor symbolizes the arrogance of the powerful in all societies towards the powerless.
The thing that Coyotito symbolizes is nature. The Priest represents somewhat of the Catholic Church...not being a sense of comfort or growth, they patronize the Indians, yet take their money. Kino symbolizes the bond between anamalistic and humanity. The neighbors kind of symbolize family in a way, because they did care somewhat about Kino and the pearl.
