Robert Louis Stevenson for his novel Treasure Island (serialized 1881–82) invented a literary device which he named as Black Spot. In this novel, he calls pirates the black spot. This was to pronounce a verdict of guilt. This consisted of a circular paper which had one side blackened while the other side had a message and was handed over to the accused. While the captain was significantly weakened by a stroke and the narrator preoccupied by all the duties and responsibilities of his father's funeral, a blind beggar visited the narrator's house and asked him to take him to the captain. When he reached there, he gave the captain a piece of paper with a black circle on one side and some words scribbled on the other. The beggar walks off as if he was never blind and the captain is so socked by whatever is written on the piece of paper that he dies. Overall, the story is a very sad one revolving around the theme of sorrow
