Not gonna lie, I feel kinda bad for the pirates. Is it possible to develop 2nd hand Stockholm syndrome?
Like, the poor guys had a hostage, and said hostage ridiculed them, bossed them around and even forced them to hear bad poetry (the horror!). And the reward for all that is death.
It’s only natural to sympathize with those who we learn more about! Personally, though, not too broken up about their fate - Classical-era pirates were not exactly nice fellows. Besides, death for a pirate is really just an occupational hazard, when you get down to it. Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest!
That was a rollercoaster of emotions.
