Romance does't really apply in the traditional sense as we would probably think of it in treasure island. By traditional sense I am talking about romantic love. But no, the type of romance in treasure island has nothing to do about love, but the idealic versions of heroic deeds and amazing adventures that are present during the story. The adventure of finding lost treasure, a kid joining a rabid gang of pirates and the struggle of good vs evil all make this story one of romance.
