How Stevenson describes him:
|
"He was plainly blind for he tapped before him with a stick, and
wore a great green shade over his eyes and nose; and he was hunched, as
if with age or weakness, and wore a huge old tattered sea-cloak with a
hood, which made him appear positively deformed ".
|
The role he plays in Treasure Island:
|
An evil and sinister pirate who was blinded in a pirate attack.
He is cruel, scary and determined to get the map. He gives Billy Bones
the Black Spot and is trampled to death by horses.
|
What he has to say:
|
"All I needed was the map, then I would have been home and dry
- Billy Bones got what he
deserved!"
