The narrative unfolds with a rich tapestry of Scottish dialect and vivid descriptions, illustrating the tension between personal desire and societal duty. The book reflects Stevenson's fascination with the contrasts between civilization and nature, as well as the moral dilemmas faced by individuals in a rapidly changing world.
