Thus, choosing between good and evil matters when one desires money. They go to an extent where they ruthlessly kill each other for money. In the novel, the pirates embody the evil that arises out of the desire for money. From time immemorial, money enslaved human beings with the desire to acquire it. The desire for money becomes the root cause of all evil, a statement that has proved itself true through the centuries. Nevertheless, in due course, the treasure is unearthed, and a few good ones, along with two pirates, get back to the mainland. Both the pirates and the good people fight for the treasure. Together, they play smartly when the pirates finally start a mutiny. Jim passes the message to Captain Smollett, Dr Livesey, and Squire Trelawney. However, when they were about to reach the island, Jim, the novel’s protagonist, overhears that half of the crew members are pirates, and they are waiting for the right opportunity to go against the good people on board. The main problem starts when Squire Trelawney, the adventure organizer, is misguided into recruiting some pirates into his crew.Īt the beginning of the journey in Treasure Island, only captain Smollett gets a weird feeling about the crew. The story’s incidents are narrated from Jim’s perspective, the young protagonist, who witnesses the actual world during his journey.
Treasure Island begins with Jim narrating his purpose for writing down his adventure experiences to the strange island. The book is also prescribed in schools and colleges as one of the genre’s pioneer books.
Although centuries passed since the book first reached the hands of curious readers, it is still decorating the readers’ bookshelves to date. Though pirates are no longer a part of contemporary life, the thrill that the word carries has not ceased.
