Themes 1.Glorification of human labor Labor saves Crusoe form despair, and is a source of pride and happiness. 2. Man’s struggle against nature 3.The Importance of Self-Awareness Crusoe remains conscious of himself at all times. He teaches nature itself to voice his own self-awareness. Themes 4.The ambivalence of mastery While Crusoe seems praiseworthy in mastering his fate, the praiseworthiness of his mastery over his fellow humans is more doubtful. Defoe explores the link between the two in his depiction of the colonial mind. 5. The Necessity of Repentance For Crusoe, repentance consists of acknowledging his wretchedness and his absolute dependence on the Lord. Motifs 1. Counting and Measuring Crusoe is a careful note-taker whenever numbers and quantities are involved. 2. Eating Life for Crusoe always illustrates this eat or be eaten philosophy, since even back in Europe he is threatened by man-eating wolves. Eating is an image of existence itself, just as being eaten signifies death for Crusoe. 3. Ordeals at Sea Crusoe’s encounters with water in the novel are often associated not simply with hardship, but with a kind of symbolic ordeal, or test of character. Symbols 1.The Footprint Our hero’s conflicted feelings about human companionship. ?2. The Cross Crusoe ’s own new existence on the island a memorial to Crusoe himself underscoring how completely he has become the center of his own life. 3.

Robinson Crusoe is an interesting picaresque novel about an 18th century English adventurer. ?2.The book was so well received by the English readers that wherever there is a Bible, there is was a copy of Robinson Crusoe.
