I guess the thing is about silver is. There's this quote from questions for Ada "l have pasts inside me that i did not bury properly." And silvers whole thing is the reflection of that, the opposite. He did bury them properly. Properly and completely. There's no lie by omission in his eyes because the person that he was is dead. He has no past.

Before the story even took place something happened to him that killed the person he was, leaving in place a blank slate. And that slate is the foundation upon he built John Silver.

Whatever happened. Is not painful to him, it has little meaning, it does not belong to him. because in his eyes it didn't happen to him. There is a clean cut severing who he once was, and who he has built in their place.

To acknowledge that his past is HIS. That he was not truly born on that ship that day when he stumbled on to flints path, that would require a complete undoing of self. He'd have to go back to the foundation of everything he understands himself to be. And why would he?

The single biggest mistake writers make when creating characters is that they think of the hero and all other characters as separate individuals. […] To create great characters, think of all your characters as part of a web in which each helps define the others. To put it another way, a character is often defined by who he is not. Each time you compare a character to your hero, you force your hero to distinguish the hero in new ways. You also start to see the secondary characters as complete human beings, as complex and as valuable as your hero.

I love him too much to leave it at one

His life is a tragedy

He was born to be betrayed

“I don’t think that every villain in the world actually thinks they’re being a good guy, but I do think that everybody creates a value system that justifies the actions they’re taking, and and I think there’s a difference between those two things. Not everybody believes that they’re on the side of righteousness, but everybody has a way of justifying the actions they’re taking. Not every villain has to be a misunderstood hero, and in fact I think there are a lot of instances throughout history of people who were obviously doing the wrong thing and probably had an understanding of that on some level, but had some rationale or justification for it. A lot of villains in literature and media have these weird, Thanos-esque philosophies of what it is that they’re trying to do, and I think human motivation tends to come from more primal places than that. So a lot of the villains I write can be brilliant or clever (and, in fact, probably should be), but their motivation tends to be primal. They wanna be rich, they wanna have power, they wanna live forever. There’s something deep down that is, when you break it down, not too complex. Right? If you look at the real world, the people that are doing bad stuff don’t need complex motivations. They wanna rule the world! They wanna be rich! They wanna be unafraid that other people can ever screw them over, so they screw other people over. Evil is boring. Right? I kinda believe in the banality and mundanes of evil. Evil is just selfish impulses, which at the end of the day are really easy to understand. It’s easy to understand why people do bad things. It’s like “yeah, ok, you’re selfish and scared and cruel, I get it”. Being good is complex and beautiful and hard.”
