Abstract

Black Sails series depicts events that occurred prior to the story told in the famous book of Robert Louis Stevenson, The Treasure Island, and like the original work and its various film adaptations, contributes to the construction of the pirate stereotype. This stereotype is generalized from the characteristics marked by several fictional works that end up perpetuating the features of pirates in general as only coming from the Caribbean pirates of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
