Treasure Island is an adventure novel authored by Robert Louis who is a Scottish author.
The theme of the Novel
The novel treasure island is known for its characters and action. The story revolves around the treasure and Dr. Livesey and the squire John Trelawny make an expedition to the island where the treasure is kept along with Jim as their cabin man.
What is the concern of the doctor on the island?
- Dr. Livesey is determined to find the treasure, however, he is worried about the lack of clean water for drinking.
- He is concerned that they might catch diseases like fever and dysentery if they do not get fresh water to drink and they may also die if they consumed the unhealthy water.
- Dr. Livesey also warns others that they might catch tropical diseases if they stay for too long on the island.
- He was also worried about the squire John Trelawny because he was talking to the crew a lot and spilled a lot of information about the treasure and purpose of coming to the island to the crew members.
Proof from the text
- Dr. Livesey warns every crew member about the dangers of the island yet no one listens to him and everyone was rather concerned about where to board the ship.
- He also keeps interrupting the squire continuously as he was talking to the crew members and spilling all the secrets because he was worried that the crew might split up if they got to know the real purpose of coming to the island.
Hence, Dr. Livesey was talking about literal fever and not a metaphorical one yet no one listened to him.
