Beside his interest in dealing with minorities, the well-known American writer John Ernst Steinbeck, is prosperous in combining his realistic and imaginative writings with social perception. He has been called a “giant of American letters” as many of his works including his novella “The Pearle” are regarded as classics of western literature. His short novel “The Pearl” explorers a variety of themes like family relations which cannot be fully elaborated without having an idea about the figures of speech employed by the novelist . In the “The Pearle”, he utilizes altered stylistic strategies that are linked in a magnificent technique to create an active power and influence in reader’s mind. His sense of imagery is fascinating, indicative and wonderful. Through metaphors, similes, images, personification, alliteration and a few more devices, he prospers to make his novel rich in language in addition to its vivid thematic issues. The present paper tackles the effectiveness of language creativity and attempts to show its role in making “The Pearl” grand prominence in the world of Western literature.
