for the record i do not think silver was the named non-entity of solomon little however i do think solomon little was perhaps silver's first lesson in choosing survival over loved ones
#does this make sense.#like silver is a guy who has dedicated himself to totally evacuating himself of an authentic selfhood as a survival mechanism#and i think the closest he could ever get to authentically representing his past is to continually resurrect and re-present#the first person he legitimately lost and/or betrayed#my two cents. anyway#black sails#john silver#solomon little#like the fact that he uses this name as a mobile and therefore unstable signifier... it is a story he cannot make sense of and must reinven#like he has to characterize his past in the most refracted askew ways posssible
