. Defoe and Robinson Crusoe

Defoe (about 166-1731)

British writer, the founder of English realistic novels in the 18th century. Born into a merchant family, he did business in his early years, and after bankruptcy in 1692, he was engaged in writing. In his early years, he was famous for writing political essays and satirical poems, opposing feudal autocracy and advocating the development of capitalist industry and commerce. The first novel Robinson Crusoe was published in 1719, and a sequel was written in the same year. In 1712, an anecdote was revealed in The Cruise Around the World by the British navigator Wordsworth Logis: a sailor was left on a desert island 5 nautical miles off the coast of Chile, and he lived alone for more than four years. This anecdote became the source of Defoe's writing Robinson Crusoe.

2. Appreciation of Robinson Crusoe

Robinson portrayed by Defoe became a hero in the eyes of the middle and small bourgeoisie at that time, and was the first idealized emerging bourgeois image in western literature.

Robinson was born in the middle class, and his father often taught him the philosophy of contentment and told him not to go out to sea. But the new world overseas lured him like an irresistible attraction, and he was ambitious and determined to give up his comfortable and mediocre life and go to sea. He almost drowned on his first voyage. The third time I went to sea, I was taken captive by pirates. After I escaped, I made a fortune in Brazil. But he still didn't give up. After being suggested by others, he set sail again and ended up stranded on the island. 28 years of island life can't stop him from continuing his adventure. This enterprising spirit of adventure shows that the emerging bourgeoisie at that time was not satisfied with the status quo and wanted to explore and occupy the world.

The description of Robinson's experience on a desert island in the story is the essence of the book. The author describes Robinson as a man full of enthusiasm for work. He struggled with nature with his tenacious labor and showed amazing perseverance. As soon as Robinson arrived at the desert island, after overcoming the initial pessimism and despair, he immediately plunged into the struggle to conquer nature. This infinite courage and indomitable spirit of hard work made Robinson's image have great artistic charm. In this way, the author praises the enterprising spirit of the bourgeoisie in the period of primitive accumulation of capital, and emphasizes personal intelligence and perseverance.

Robinson is a laborer, a bourgeois and a colonist, so he has the nature of exploitation and plunder. The purpose of his several trips to sea was to sell slaves in Africa. Robinson fought against nature tenaciously, not only for survival, but also for possession of wealth and land. When no one else appeared on the island, Robinson said smugly, "Everything here is mine." If possible, he will pass it on to his descendants. When Friday's father and the Spaniard were born on the island, he was full of joy for being "like a king" and "my people completely obey me". Even after returning to England, he went to "inspect" his "territory" and sublet the land on the island to new residents. The duality of Robinson fully embodies the limitations of the author's own time and class.

1. Generally speaking, it turns out that my current unfortunate situation is rare in the world. However, even in such a situation, there are some negative things or positive things to be thankful for.

Analysis: This passage should be understood in combination with Robinson's arrangement of "luck" and "misfortune" living on a desert island. Being alone and living on a desert island is a great misfortune and a negative thing. However, compared with his partner who died in the sea, he is still lucky. After all, he is alive and there is hope, so he should be grateful. This sentence is the concentrated expression of Robinson's thought of "content with life".
