This novel is written by Daniel Defoe. This novel is
Adventure story. This novel is written in 1719 in London, England. In this
novel Robinson crosoe is main character. He is narrator of the novel. And
narrator begins the novel as a young middle class man in York in search of a
career . His father recommends the law but crusoe years for a life at sea and
his subsequent rebellion and decision to become a merchant is the starting
point for the whole adventure that follows . His voyage but recurring feelings
of gulit over his disobedience color the first of the first half of the story
and show us how deep crusoe’s religious
fear is. The life and strange surprising Adventure of Robinson Crousoe , of
York, Mariner : who lived Eight and Twenty years, all alone in an uninhabited
Island on the Coast of America , near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque;
Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck , wherein all the men perished but
himself . With An account how he was at least as strangely delivered by
pyrates.
The narrator
introduces himself as Robinson Crusoe. He was born in 1632 in the city of York
to a good family. His father is a foreigner who made money in merchandise
before setting to down and marrying his mother, whose surname is Robinson. His
true last name is Kreutznaer, but has been corrupted into crousoe by the
English. There are two older brothers in the family ; one died in the English
regiment, and Robinson does not Know what became of the other.
Crusoe’s father has
designed him for the law, but early on his head is filled with “rambling thoughts “ of going to sea. No
advice or entreaties can diminish his desire. His father gives him “excellent
advice and counsel, “telling him that
only men of desperate and superior fortunes go abroad in search of adventures,
and that he is too high or too low for such activites . His station is the middle station , a state
which all figures , great and small, will envy eventually , and his
happiness would be assured if he would stay at home. Nature has provided this
life, and Robinson should not go against
this. After all, look what happened to this life, and Robinson should not go
against this. After all, look what
happened to his brother who went into the army. The narrator is truly affected
by his father’s discourse, but after a few weeks he decides to run away. He
prevails upon his mother to speak to his mother to speak to his father and
persuade him to allow one voyage. If Robinson does not like it, he resolves to
go home and think of the sea no more. She reluctantly reports their conversation,
but no headway is made, no consent given. About a year later, he is able to
procure free passage on a friend’s boat heading to London. Asking for no
blessing or money, he boards the ship and leaves.
Misfortune
begins immediately. The sea is rough, and Robinson regrets his decision to
leave home. He sees now how comfortably his father lives. The sea calms, and
after a few days, the thoughts are disnmissed. The narrator speaks with his
companion, marveling at the “storm”. His companion laughs and says it was nothing
at all. There is drinking that night, and Robinson forgets his fear of
drowning. Within a few more days, the
wind is behaving terribly , and then a true and terrible storm begins. Robinson
spends much time in his cabin, laying down in fright . he sees nothing but
distress , and is convinced he is at death’s door. The ship is being flooded ,
and he is commissioned to help bail water. At one point Robinson fraints , but
is roused quickly . The water is coming too fast, so they board life boats.
People on shore are ready to assist them, if they can reach land. The boats
arrive at Yarmouth, and the magistrate gives the men rooms. They must decide
whether or not to continue to London or return to Hull. His comrade notes that
Robinson should take this as a sign that he is not meant to go to sea. They
part in an angry state. Robinson travels to London via land. He is ashamed to
go home and be laughed at by neighbors. Finally he decides to look for a
voyage. He is deaf to all good advice, and boards a vessel bound for Guiana
because he befriends the its captain. This voyage, save seasickness, goes well,
but upon arrival the captain dies. Robinson resolves to take his ship and be a
Guiana trader.
Upon exploring
the new land, Robinson himself says that they will both go and die together if
one must die at all. Out on the sea is the semblance of proprieties, but these
two follow their own laws.
Robinson is
master of Friday. Robinson saves him for some people. He meets him on Friday
that’s why he gives name him Friday. Friday is slave. Both’s master slave
relationship highlighted in the novel. Robinson teaches him. For Friday it is
strenge and new. After having been there about 12 days, Robinson decides to
keep a calendar by making a large wooden post. He is very happy to have some
pen and paper, three Bibles, two cats and a dog, all from the ship. Robinson is
growing curious about the land on the other side of the island. Xury is a
friend and servant of crusoe.
The
appearance of Friday will allow crusoe to live out his role as ruler of the
island. As Friday and Robinson await their return, they spy another ship close
to shore . It appears to be an English boat. Some men row to the island. Three
of them are prisoners. The seaman are running about, trying to explore this
strange place. Robinson dearly wishes that the spaniared and Friday’s father
were here to help fight. While the seaman sleep, crusoe and
Friday approach the prisoners, who see them as God- sent. They learn
from one that is the captain of the ship , and his crew has mutinited. They
want to leave him with the first mate and a passenger to perish. Robinson says
he will try to save them on authority on the island, and that if the battle is
won, that they take Friday and himself to England passage- free. It is agreed.
They are able to surprise everyone on land, killing some and granting mercy to
those who beg for their lives. Crusoe tells the captain of his life on the
island. The captain of his life on the island. The captain is visibly moved.
Next they want to recover the ship. On the water they hear shots. With the aid
of a binocular-type instrument, they see another small boat of men approaching.
The captain says only a few can be trusted; the chief organizer of the mutiny
is in the boat. Robinson marshals his “troops,” consisting of Friday and the
prisoners. They wait to start the battle.
The plot
becomes tangled at the end of the novel, with many new characters. Why the
author waits so long to wrap up crusoe’s
time on the island is not clear. We can see this chapter as an extension of
Crusoe’s imagined world, in which he is a powerful sovereign. Now, however,
imagination blurs with reality, for Robinson truly is taking on the role of
heroic leader. He does plan attack on the savages, and the rest of the men
listen to him dutifully. Defoe wastes no time in changing the terminology
referring to the captured men from “prisoners” to “my people” in the mind of
the narrator. A lable such as “the Spaniard” becomes “my Spaniard”. It is
certain that everyone under his gaze is added to his group of subjects, which
had previously consisted of the Friday and the animal.
Robinson
crusoe starts farming on this Iceland. Crusoe representing English man. He
crests myth. He stars earning. His identity reached on this Iceland.he is
alone. He is stranger. He learns. He tries to know. He is not able to find way

He makes a cave for protection. Then he got a company of animals and Friday. He
is life savior for Friday. He becomes the king of his Iceland. He becomes a
master. He is helpful. He becomes a source of inspiration. His creativity,
imagination makes him better. Xury and Crusoe both are travelers. Xury helps
Crouse. Xury is black man. Xury is silent in the novel. The at the end of the
novel he is return to his home England. But he does not want to leave this Iceland.
He is very much attached with this Iceland but he goes.
ð Conclusion :-
The novel suggests the journey of Robinson Crusoe. He is centre of the
novel. All the incidents happens around him. Robinson Crusoe earns money on
this Iceland. He is selfish. He has given his shares to widow. Crusoe is mainly
instrested in expanding his empire. In this novel we find one person narrator,
imagery form and natural world and characters are interesting and believable.
