Treasure Island. Ben Gunn is an ex-crewman of Captain Flint's who has been marooned for three years on Treasure Island by his crewmates, after his failure to find the treasure without the map. During his time alone on the island, Gunn develops an obsessional craving for cheese.
A last note about Ben Gunn: when the poor man first meets Jim on the island, he tells Jim that spending three years on the island has made him a God-fearing man again. He was raised to believe in God as a child, and years alone have brought him back to faith again.n the twentieth day, Ben Gunn is begging again. Not only does this prove how weak-willed Ben Gunn is; it also proves Long John Silver's earlier claim that the problem with all pirates is that they play as hard as they work: Here it is about gentlemen of fortune.
