——analysis of the characters
This novel is well famous not only for its exciting and attracting plots that grasp your eyes, but also for its vivid description of the characters. Though there are a lot of characters in it, we don’t get confused because of their different and unique characteristics. Above all, the most
successful part is the description of the main characters. So let’s get to it. Coming first, of course, is our Jim Hawkins, who is the protagonist and the narrator of this story. He is my favorite, because from Jim, we can see almost all of the noble personalities of human nature: the braveness, the honesty, the kindness, the good faith, the justice, the curiosity and so on. So this is the character which is definitely the most admirable one by all. Also the author successfully depicts him by writing the true psychology activities of a teenager. For example, the sentence “MY curiosity, in a sense, was stronger than my fear, for I could not remain where I was, but crept back to the bank again”, it shows the real behavior of a young country lad with a keen eye for excitement and an urge for adventure.
There are two reasons for the question, why Stevenson portrays the child as the perfect character. According to my point of view, firstly, he wants to settle Jim as the model for youngsters. He wants the youngsters to really learn some good qualities of Jim, which will benefit them
forever. Secondly, he wants to educate the adults by satirizing their evil personalities in comparison to Jim. We can say that the voyage is an impressive lesson taught not by words, but by behaviors. The adults’ greed, their cruelty, their craft, personally speaking, is all caused by the “treasure”. So this is what Stevenson wants to tell us. That is, we should not be driven by money. The society calls for sincerity, kindness, and beauty.
However, the most successful character in this work is Long John Silver. He is unforgettable for his cruelty, his crafty, his calmness as well as his power, both physically and psychologically. At the same time, his appearance is also unique, with his one wooden leg and his parrot Captain Flint, making him more mysterious. And one of the most impressive situations that I remember is when Jim found the black dog in Silver's restaurant, Silver uses his gentle manner, his “kind” smile, his tricky words and his unbelievable calmness to make Jim trust him and stop this case from worsening. Above all, Long John Silver, this complex, charming and crooked character not only won him big quantity of treasure at last, but also made this novel widely appreciated.
Besides the major characters, there are also many lively minor characters, such as Dr. Livesey, who has a high sense of duty that he even visits the enemy camp to treat the wounded, and Mrs. Hawkins, who would neither like to take less money that Billy owes, nor take more
under urgent circumstances.
All in all, this book is obviously pretty successful in depicting different characteristics and from analyzing the characters, you can understand what the author is appraising and criticizing. And I think this book can still tell us something in such a material society where some people are chasing money without moral standard. And after finish reading this great book, I will surely be a good person like Jim, and I hope this world will one day be filled with not “treasure”, but the noble human nature!
