10 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About Captain Jack Sparrow
2. He Turns Down Almost Every Powerful Artifact He Acquires
Jack Sparrow, in all of his adventures, has constant exposure to mythical treasures and powerful artifacts. Among these supernatural items, Jack has never kept anything except for the Black Pearl.
Every single time he got his hands on something powerful or precious, he would soon let it go, or give it to someone else. But to be fair, these scenarios where he let go of such artifacts are complicated situations - vital moments in the stories where Jack has to choose between acquiring a great treasure or a powerful weapon at the cost of losing someone dear to him.
Which is why Jack loses such treasures most of the time since he never lets his allies down. Similar to the time that he used Will’s hand to stab Davy Jones' heart even though Jack clearly wanted to be the captain of the Dutchman, or when he lost interest in the fountain of youth as soon as he learned that the ritual would require a human sacrifice.
The fact that he always lets go of his desires for those he cares about is an unspoken truth about Captain Jack Sparrow and is often overlooked by people that have seen the films.
