With the help of a local doctor and lord, the three round up a crew and a ship to sail to the hidden treasure on the map. Little did they know, the crew they hired had their own plans to steal the map and thus the treasure. Throughout the novel, Stevenson argues that, “greed can destroy any relationship, no matter how strong,” through his use of language and tone, as well as cultural, historical, and social lenses.

He plays a game using Rupert (James Stewart), an old friend of theirs and the victim, David, as the detective. Brandon thought if he could get it past Rupert, it truly would be the perfect murder. Ultimately, of course, Rupert caught on, exposing Brandon and Philip, proving that a superiority complex surely leads to the reveal of inferiority, this is evident in the film Rope by Alfred Hitchcock.
