In Treasure Island who truly has the right to the treasure and why?
Assuming you mean "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson, the treasure was put there by Captain Flint and his men. Flint being dead, it belongs to the crew. But, the treasure wasn't their property. It was stolen plunder. With the real owners being unable to trace, it would be considered abandoned property. With the lack of a local authority to accept the forfeit of all or part of the abandoned property (called "escheat"), it belongs to the finder. If you were to find a treasure nowadays, you would have to share it with the state if it is on state land or within three miles of the coast.
What does to treasure someone mean?
A treasure is usually thought of as a collection of very valuable items. A treasure chest might be filled with gold or precious stones for example. To treasure a person is to hold that person as very dear and important. It can but it does not necessarily imply feelings of romantic love.
