Greed and romance

My book has a "reader questions" section that refers to the greed of the squire and the doctor in going after the treasure. I was a little taken aback by that because I didn't see them as greedy per se. Maybe they were, though. But more so than a run-of-the-mill person? Anyway, it got me thinking about their reasons for going vs. Jim's. Jim was certainly interested in the money to repair the financial damage to his family's inn, but the money seemed secondary to the romance of sailing and treasure-hunting. Maybe that's also why Jim harbored more sympathy for Long John Silver, because he was swept up — in a way the literal-minded, mission-oriented adults weren't — in the romance of the voyage.
