Robinson Crusoe
Robinson Crusoe is a novel
written by Daniel Defoe, first published on 25 April 1719. The first edition credited the work's protagonist Robinson
Crusoe an its author, leading many readers to belive he was a real person and
the book a travelogue of true incidents.
On 22 September, we have
watched the film of Robinson Crusoe which was directed by Luis Bunuel. Robinson
Crusoe is a novel by Daniel Defoe. The story has been based on the life of
Alexander Selkirk. Who lived for four years on a pacific island, which was renamed
'Robinson crusoe's
Before landing on the
island, Crusoe's father wants him to be a good, middle-class man. Crusoe, who
wants nothing more than to travel around in a ship, is definitely not into this
idea. He struggles against the authority and at last he decides to go on
adventure of the sea. After sailing around for a while, he makes a bit of money
in trade, but then is captured and made into a slave off the coast of Africa.
Here he meets a young man named Xury, with whom he escapes from captivity.
Picked up by a Portuguese sailing captain, Crusoe makes it to Brazil where he buys
a sugar plantation. He does fairly well financially, but soon becomes involved
in a venture to procure slaves from Africa. On the voyage there he gets
shipwrecked and is left as the only survivor on a deserted island.
In the movie we find
Robinson as master and Friday as Slave. Robinson’s behavior with
Friday is like cruel. He talks with Friday in higher tone as like his boss
or master. He reaches Friday differences between white and Black people.
He first teaches him MASTER word.
So we can say that this movie is about voyage and adventure of Crusoe.Even
without any person he spends his life on island that scene touched me very well
because we never think about life without any person. Even in absence of one or
two members of family we feel something lonely and awkward. So it is admirable
for Robinson that he has spent twenty eight years of his life without his
family and also without any other person. So at last I want to say that this
movie inspired me lot that nothing impossible without anything or anybody . If
we decide to do something and if we try to make it fulfil it will surely
fulfil. But attempt is necessary for any work
.
In the third part we can
see that Crusoe sees a footprint on the shore one day and learns that he is
actually not alone on the island. There are also cannibals. Crusoe struggles
with the question of whether or not he should take revenge on them. Eventually,
he meets with a man but he was unknown with the name so he kept his name Friday
because the day when they meat was Friday. Friday is able to rescue from the
cannibals. Crusoe allows Friday to stay with as a slave and to call Crusoe his
master, so the first word Crusoe taught him was master. Crusoe also teaches
Friday English and many other things like etiquette. As the time passed they
were not sharing a master slave relation but the two become like father and
son. Friday and Crusoe also rescue a Spaniard and Crusoe's father. At the end Crusoe
and his father goes back to the native place giving the responsibility of
island to Friday and told him that he would visit the island again.
