What Makes Captain Hunter Ruthless
Throughout my reading I have decided to chracterize the ruthless pirateer known as Captain Hunter. To start he is a very determined person letting nobody stand in his path towards glory. When the time comes to prepare for his risky voyage; he shows great detail and thought in what he needs. First, he meets with Whisper: the only survivor from the Matanceros raid, which of course is where Captain Hunter is planning to set sail to. This island is heavily garded with many spanish soldiers including the most ruthless of them all: Captain Cazalla. This cold-blooded monster kills with no regrets; leaving his victims stranded to die, which is exactly what he did to Whisper. Cutting his throat and leaving him for the dead, but somehow he survived. …show more content…
Although he can act very wild and uncivlized Captain Hunter can also act like a born gentlemen. When his crew gets captured by an enormouse spanish vessle in command by the ruthless Cazalla Captain Hunter still manages to keep himself under control. “I can see that you are born a gentlemen” (Crichton). This statement was made by Cazalla which is a good indication that Captain didn’t let his feat get the best of knwoing whar Cazalla can do. Secondly, Captain Hunter is indeed an intelligent man judging by the way he prepared for the expidition. He starts off by packing plenty of food and water, which are the most important items that are essential for the voyage. Secondly, Captain Hunter’s experience out at sea in the past tought him a couple things. Including scavaging all the food and water knowing that it can go by fast. The full day of the voyage the crew did not eat or drink anything. Lastly, he is very cautiouse about the health of his crew members. Before he sets sail he has Mr. Enders check each crew member for signs of disease. Captain Hunter also questions each and every one of them. From this important information the reader can conclude that Captain has a very unique

    Caine Mutiny Psychoanalysis

    (1) suspects, without sufficient basis, that others are exploiting, harming, or deceiving him or her. This could be related to the incident that occurred with the strawberries going missing. Queeg had this set idea in his mind of what happened, and whenever one of the other members of the crew tried to tell him that he saw the mess boys eating the strawberries, Queeg said that he was lying to him. He was suspicious of almost every action by the crew, thinking that they were all out to get him or trying to deceive him. (2) is preoccupied with unjustified doubts about the loyalty or trustworthiness of friends or associates. Queeg said multiple times that no one on his crew was loyal to him. In court he said that all of his crew members were disloyal to him, even though he had written in the reports that one of the crew was very loyal and hardworking. (3) is reluctant to confide in others because of unwarranted fear that the information will be used maliciously against him or her. Captain Queeg had also said many times that being a Captain is a "lonely life" or command is a "lonely job". This could be different for Queeg if he had people to talk to or to confide in. (4) perceives attacks on his or her character or reputation that are not apparent to others and is quick to react angrily or to counterattack. This could be shown through the way…

    Why Is Christopher Columbus Wrong

    The second most guilty suspect on this voyage was Christopher Columbus. He was the one taking orders from the King and Queen and fulfilling them to the max. Columbus took the possession of Indian land and started to spread religion under his orders. However, he went over and beyond to do all of this for the King and Queen. He ordered men to enslave the Taino for them and to make them work in the mines for gold. Gold was all he and the King and Queen cared about. He even said, “Gold is most excellent; gold is treasure, and he who possesses it does all he wishes to in this world.” Also, he spread terror and fear to show he was in control. He grilled people and set dogs to chase children and eat them. To spread religion, he hung up Taino Indians…

    The Whale Shark Annotated

    The narrator immersed himself in the ocean to escape from his past; he is still dealing with the death of his son and guilt that he was one that killed his own flesh and blood. While in the ocean the narrator briefly describes his swimming technique, he states that he enjoys the feeling of swimming harder underneath the current. He pushes himself harder in the ocean to the point he grasp the concept that in just a matter of seconds a body can easily die as live. Swimming in the ocean with the narrator were jellyfishes and a whale shark. The significant about the whale shark, is it was once alive in the ocean swimming freely than suddenly captured and killed. I believe that the narrator saw as a representation of his son, because similar to…

    Canterbury Tales: Skipper's Analysis

    When characterizing the Skipper, Chaucer uses his likes and dislikes to describe him. Throughout the passage, the reader can conclude that the Skipper is a dishonest, unscrupulous man, and the couplet shows that he's not very loyal. In this couplet, (lines 407-408), Chaucer states that “he'd drawn at Bordeaux, while the trader snored,/ The nicer rules of conscience he ignored.” This shows his lack of loyalty and suggests that the Skipper might possibly be a pirate. Although the passage as a whole strongly suggests the Skipper being a pirate, one can conclude that from the couplet. In the couplet, the Skipper is stealing from someone while they sleep, and during this invasion, the Skipper is ignoring the better part of his conscience. This could mean that while the Skipper is not a decent person, he still has a conscience that tells him right from wrong, he just chooses to ignore that voice. The Skipper's personality and behavior can be concluded from just the couplet.…

    Bartolomé de Las Casa’s History of the Indies sheds a light on the cruelties that the Spanish were not just capable of, but committed on a day to day basis. De Las Casa helps support Stannard’s thesis and showcases the horrible deeds performed by the Spaniards often. The Spanish soldiers would slaughter the Natives “…like sheep in a corral.” They would often place bets to measure their strength, such as who could cut a Native in half with a single blow, or slice of their heads the quickest. They has no mercy, and made sure to “…prevent Indians from daring to…

    The Ancient Mariner Literature Essay “The Rime of The Ancient,

    The mariner's story is about killing an albatross that had led the ship away from the storm and the icy seas. In return for helping them, the seamen fed the bird and played with it. Despite this partnership between them all, the mariner took his crossbow and shot the albatross. He was cursed when he killed the albatross. A ghost ship appeared with a woman and a skeleton and they played a dice game which she won. This was the point that he realised it was a curse from killing the albatross. The curse made the crew fall down dead and their bodies did not rot or decay in any way. They lay with their eyes staring at him. It was a punishment so great for him because if he tried to do any thing normal they would be staring at him. For the mariner, the worst punishment of all was because he was responsible for the deaths of his entire crew on the ship.…

    Golden Age of Piracy

    With canons blaring in the distance, Captain Edward Teach sits in his quarters, preparing for battle. To his belt, Teach straps pistols, daggers, and his cutlass. Across his chest, a sling with six pistols all loaded. Then, slowly, Teach braids his bushy, pitch-black beard that would come to give him his name. Finally, Teach places several slow burning fuses under his hat, lighting each one by one[i]. With wisps of smoke billowing around his face, Blackbeard, the most treacherous pirate in history, emerges from his cabin to join the fight. In the golden age of piracy, Captain Edward Teach, more commonly known as Blackbeard, stands out as the fiercest and most important figure. Blackbeard and his crew successfully controlled commerce along the North Carolina and Virginia coast from 1717-1718. Blackbeard influenced government in Bath, North Carolina, ultimately controlling the governor during this period.…
