Just finished Steinbeck's The Pearl and HATED the ending. Anybody agree with me? Or disagree with me?

The story follows a pearl diver , Kino, and explores man's purpose as well as greed, defiance of societal norms, and evil. Steinbeck's inspiration was a Mexican folk tale, which he had heard in a visit to the formerly pearl-rich region in 1940.
