Abstract: | This research work concentrateson the critical study of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island.The novel deals with the issues travel, fear and violence that devastate the colonizers themselves. This novel is the critique of character’s excessive desire for material prosperity which results in moral decay, death of brotherhood and humanity. Characters and their conspiracies represent the colonial evil practices. They also represent the desire for piling up of material wealth. Violence is the immoral way out of greed and hunger of material perfection. Stevenson fails to give moral lessons through the characters. Lack of co-operation and recognition displaces the character’s conscience. The losing of property makes them ready to end their life. This is the main cause of murder and conspiracies. The intensive thought of colonization was to extend the superiority but they were disseminating their brutal activities which in fact degenerated the colonized as well as colonizers. |
