I'm not sure how to interpret that monkey taking so quickly to Norrington when his last master was Barbossa. Does that say something about Norrington's character? Hmmmm.
Could be...! The idea of the monkey running to Norrington for protection from Jack was the first thing I thought of when the theme was announced, so I had to explore that a bit. There's something sort of similar in Heyer's The Grand Sophy, too...
Jack, Jack, you should have lied about the monkey's name LOL.
Probably. I figure he was a bit thrown by the horrid little beast's presence, and its immmediate rapport with Norrie. Or perhaps he had some ulterior motive for telling the truth.
So what does a commodore do with a cursed monkey?
That is the question. I may have to explore this further...
