Picaro is human. He indulges in vices which enrages society. He is authentic. He acts as foil to society to reveal its hypocrisy. Society marginalizes him because he is viewed as dangerous.
Trickster serves as moral instruction: do not behave like the trickster. Trickster is animal; lives in world of myth; flaws are the trickster's own, not the society's; is a comic figure and socially marginalized because he is fundamentally antisocial. Trickster only makes himself look bad.
Coyote trickster embodies a moral lesson: reaching beyond proper limits will result in negative consequences.

The four wrong answers will describe a reason the author brings up the coyote trickster and the star in the last paragraph. The correct answer won’t, because this is an EXCEPT question. Why does the author bring up the story? One reason is to show an example of the typical settings and themes of trickster stories.
We have no reason to think coyotes make particularly poignant trickster characters. The author doesn’t contrast coyotes with other animal characters.
