Treasure Thing is All a TROPE
The novel Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson is an adventure book with involvement of private. The plot of this novel is a very classic trope. Like how a teenage boy ended up with the map of a treasure. (He actually loot off a dead pirate) And because of this treasure map the whole adventure started. Does that seen familiar? I remember many story involve with treasure had plot like that where a treasure map ended up in a young person's hand and then he will start a group for search of the treasure. There is a movie I saw before (forgot the name) where this trope actually happen. When the story advanced to the island where the treasure is on, a betrayal happen. Some formal shipmates are actually ex-pirate who wants the treasure and become enemies. This "betrayal" trope happened almost in every single pirate story. I guess this is because of the identity PIRATE, usually consider as negative (career?) So they mean to betray which happen 90% of the time.
