* Robinson Crusoe The novel’s protagonist and narrator. Crusoe begins the novel as a young middle-class man in York in search of a career. His father recomends the law,but Crusoe yearns 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.

Crusoe is steady and plodding in everything he does, and his perseverance ensures his surrival through storms,enslavement,and a twenty-eight-year isolation on a desert island. Overall,Crusoe’s virtues tend to be private,his industry,resourcefulness, and solitary courage made him an exemplary individual.but his vices are socials, and his urge to subjugate others is highly objectionable. In bringing both sides together into one complex character, Defoe gives us a fascinating glimpse into the success,failures,and contradictions of modern man.
