Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island is an adventure story which features characters who display qualities such as honesty, loyalty, courage and resourcefulness. It can be said that readers of the novel are encouraged and led to follow the examples exhibited by these characters in the values they represent. ...
There are many key events throughout Treasure Island which showcase the importance of honesty and loyalty. ... Confirmation of the success honesty holds comes about when Long John Silver decides to help Doctor Livesey and the crew to go up against the remaining mutineers and aid in packing the treasure up before departing the island.
In respect to loyalty, on Treasure Island, this virtue is regarded as the most essential. ... The emotion displayed shows how loyalty will always bring respect no matter the hierarchical structure in place. ...
So young Jim had hidden the ship – the only escape from the island, and found Ben Gunn – who had the treasure they had been looking for hidden in his cave. ... In three minutes I had the Hispaniola sailing easily before the wing along the coast of Treasure Island . ...
There are many instances where the characters express feelings about their home – England. ... The pride shown by the company for their country is immense – especially taking into consideration that they were on an uninhabited island where it didn’t mean much at all. ...
Robert Louis Stevenson has successfully taught his readers about such values as honesty, loyalty, courage (pluck) and resourcefulness in his adventure novel Treasure Island. He, through the character Jim Hawkins, has guided readers (mostly boys of a similar age to that of Hawkins) to the realisation that the upholding of such virtues will reap reward and success, after all, young Jim did leave Treasure Island with the prize.
