Although the rest of the question is not included, we can still describe what this quote means in the novel. This quote comes from the book <em>The Pearl</em> by John Steinbeck.
In this quote, Kino is describing his wife Juana. Kino has always been obsessed with manhood, and what it means to be a man. Similarly, he wants his wife to be a typical woman.

This semi-contradiction shocks Kino, but also allows him to rely on her for support throughout their troubles.
