I have been thinking about writing a pirate novel, but I am afraid of falling into one of the many cliches of the "pirate" world without being conscious of it. So, my question is, what are the cliches of the pirate novel?
Several that I have noticed include:
-Constant use of "Arrr/Arghh"
-Parrots
-the hero is often a boy or man that through his interaction with the pirates, learns to reject them and their morals, and becomes their enemy
-the captain of the ship is usually the undisputed leader, and leads the ship without regard to his crew
What other cliches are there?
