What are the conflicts in Treasure Island?

As in most great adventure novels, conflicts are many, and
Treasure Island is no exception. There are many conflicts between
the characters involved: Young Jim Hawkins must not only get over his fear of the
pirates that surround him, but he must also decide whether Long John Silver can be
trusted. Jim has a big decision to make when he decides to "desert" his companions in
order to return and gain control of the ship. The doctor is forced to make a decision
between his hate for the pirates and his medical obligations to treat his injured and
wounded enemies. Later, the doctor agrees with the others when it comes time to strand
the pirates on the island, but his humane nature determines that he must also leave them
provisions in order to survive. Silver himself has to decide between remaining with his
pirate comrades or quickly change sides to join the others when they find that the
treasure has been removed. The captain and loyal crew must then decide whether to trust
Silver when they allow him to join them against the other
pirates.

Other conflicts include man against the natural
elements, especially when Jim has to maneuver Ben Gunn's little boat before taking on
the bigger challenge of handling the Hispaniola by
himself.
