So we know it doesnt end well, Stephens continues.

How does this person become that, and what happens to their partnership and their friendship?

But also you see with Silver, its a tragedy because what has he become?

He fails to get what he wants.

And also what this series sort of tries to create is why does he want the treasure?

Is it purely for avarice, is it purely self-serving, or are there other motives for that?

There would have to be some separation of that, becauseBlack Sailshas been such an epic drama.
