Why do you think Magellan responded to the mutiny the way he did?

Ferdinand Magellan was not really a Spaniard, but a Portuguese. According to Antonio Pigafetta, Magellan became unfocused on the goal of finding the Spice Island, leading his men to go from one place to another. It is also stated that during their travel, the weather was harsh that eventually led Magellan to reduce his men’s rations.
