“Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate.”
Yes, Jack Sparrow is a notorious pirate, a raider who attacks other ships to loot treasure. He does love getting his hands on a shiny treasure from time to time. But he knows fully well that treasure comes in all forms. Jack’s goal throughout the movie series is to get his hands on the Black Pearl. For him, Black Pearl is not just a ship. “Wherever we want to go, we go. That’s what a ship is, you know. It’s not just a keel and a hull and sails; that’s what a ship needs. Not what a ship is. What the Black Pearl really is, is freedom.” This quote makes us understand that Jack treasures freedom above all things, even above gold, silver, or gems, a pirate’s most prized possessions.
