i finally finished reading treasure island (having not read it before watching black sails) and boy do i have thoughts
#hung out w a friend almost immediately after i finished the book - spent a not insignificant time thinking abt TI during our hangoit#like. idk the walrusmens only remembering their fear of flint and only turning on silver in THE most dire circumstances#silver committing one final betrayal for gold and leaving his three men marooned - bc hes only in it for the gold really jusr as he says so#many times in black sails#TI almost mirrors black sails; BS starts w a selfish silver appearing from nowhere and slowly prioritizing others over himself - TI begins#with silver prioritizing (or appearing to) others over himself and ends in silvers ultimate selfish betrayal disappearing to nowhere#silver has become unacceptable to society as a pirate and an amputee and is discarded as such abd made to be a monster#i think the juxtaposition of silver and jim is also really interesting - silver being a dishonest selfish old pirate who is disabled vs#jim hawkins a young hearty lad who never kills purposefully and remains loyal to the crown#jim who is forgiven for his abandonment of the party and tells the story-silver who lives waiting out his guilt in a story he cannot contro#if i was not laying trapped by a kitty on my chest i would get out my laptop and write a more solid post abt this loo#canis speaks#black sails#black island treasure sails
