What happened to Robinson Crusoe?

Robinson Crusoe parted with his friend and decided to travel to London by land.

Robinson Crusoe was ashamed to go home and face his parents and that his neighbors might laugh at him.

3

In London, he became more and more reluctant to go home and soon put all notion of returning out of his mind.

He was very lucky to fall in with some good company.

4

One person he met was the captain of a ship which was about to go to the Guinea coast of Africa for trading.

The captain took a fancy to young Crusoe and told him that he could come along at no expense.

5

Thus, Crusoe entered “into a strict friendship with this captain, who was an honest and plain dealing man.”

On this voyage, Crusoe carried forty pounds with him, which was invested in toys and trifles for trading.

6

This was on of the most successful voyages that he ever had since he was able to trade his travels for five pounds, nine ounces of gold dust, which yielded three hundred pounds.

We can see clearly in this quotation an inner struggle between Crusoe’s desire vs. reason ((mind)).

“

”

“The evil influence which carried me first away from my father’s house,”

9

In this quotation, he uses the word “evil” to blame the evil for his sloppy decision. He is saying that this choice is not a foolish decision, but one made with a morally wicked influence.

He learned from his friend the captain

a lot of useful and needful information such as the rules of navigation, taken an observation, his mathematical knowledge, etc.

This voyage made him both a sailor and a merchant.

What happened after Robinson Crusoe returned to London?

His friend ,the captain, fell ill and died.

Robinson decided to go to Guinea again by the same ship and he took 100 pounds with him, leaving 200 pounds with the captain’s widow for safe keeping.

14

When he went towards The Canary islands & African shore, a Turkish pirate ship chased him.

His ship had only 12 guns and the rover had 18 guns. Three of his men killed and eight wounded by the pirate.

15

The rover took him to his home and made him his slave.

16

In this quotation, he remembered his father’s prophecy that if men followed the middle station of life, they wouldn’t be “ “.

17

He hoped that someday the pirate took him to the sea again, or even the pirate taken by Spanish or Portugal.

But he left him looked after the garden and the house. And when the pirate at home, Crusoe looked after his ship.

18

He had been served for two years.

In this quotation, we see the struggle between the freedom and slavery. Freedom from the pirate.

Escaping from the Slavery

On day, the pirate had some guests coming for dinner.

But then, his guests can’t go. The pirate still wanted the Crusoe and two other slave to fishing.

So, Crusoe decided to escape. He began to make preparations to escape.

-* The Character of Robinson Crusoe is based on the life and the story of a scot man named Alexander.

* He was a sailor and 19 years old.

* Daniel Defoe used the same story but in a different way.

•* His first contrivance was to speak to the Moor to get something to stay on board.

•* He told him we must not presume to eat our patron’s bread.

* So, he brought a large basket of Rusk, biscuit and three jars with fresh water into the boat.

* He knew where the case of bottles , it was evident , he conveyed them into the boat while the moor was on shore.

* Another trick he tried upon him which innocently came into also . His name Ismael and he called him Moely.

* Then the wind blew from the north-northeast which was contrary to his desire to the coast of Spain.

* After he and the moor fished nothing and went back to the boat , he stepped forward to where the moor was , pretend to stop for something , took him by suspires into the sea , he begged to be taken in and told him we will go over the world.

He said I had done no hurt and , will do no harm but if you come near the boat I’ll shoot you , the moor reached the shore , he was an excellent swimmer.

* when he was gone he turned to the boy who thy called Xury and said “ if you will be faithful to me I’ll make you a great man “

* as soon as it grew dusk in the evening he changed his course and directly south and by east , that he might keep in with the shore.

* yet such was the fright I had taken at the moors and the dreadful apprehensions that had of falling into their hands , Xury was dreadfully frighted, But both more frighted when they heard mighty creatures come swimming to there boat.

After a good voyage, Crusoe landed in Brazil twenty-two days later. The captain was very generous with Crusoe, charging him nothing for the voyage and, instead, paying him twenty ducats for a leopard's skin and forty for the lion's skin.

widow. The captain advised him to send for one half of his money so that if that half were lost, he would still have the other half left. Crusoe wrote to the widow and had her send the money to Lisbon. He wrote the widow about all of his adventures, and she was so thankful for his safety that she sent the Portuguese captain five pounds out of her own pocket.

Furthermore, by selling all of his goods he made about two hundred and twenty pieces of eight.

Crusoe lived with a planter on a sugar plantation for some time and learned the manner of planting. He later purchased as much land as his money would buy. For the first two years, he planted mainly for food, but by the third year, he planted some tobacco and prepared ground for cane. Now he realized that he should not have sold Xury because he was in need of help on his plantation.

Soon Crusoe discovered that he was "coming into the very middle station, or upper degree of low life, which my father advised me to before." He was amused by this fact because he could have stayed at home and arrived at the same position without all of his adventures.

Since his plantation was at a great distance even from his nearest neighbor, Crusoe often thought that he "lived just like a man cast away upon some desolate island that had nobody there but himself." In retrospect, he was thankful for the slight desolation he had on his plantation

The Portuguese captain remained for three months and, during this time, Crusoe told him of the money (two hundred pounds) which he had left in London with the English captain's widow.

The captain advised him to send for one half of his money so that if that half were lost, he would still have the other half left. Crusoe wrote to the widow and had her send the money to Lisbon.

CHARACTER LIST

Robinson Crusoe: the main character of the story, he is a rebellious youth with an inexplicable need to travel. Because of this need, he brings misfortune on himself and is left to fend for himself in a primitive land. The novel essentially chronicles his mental and spiritual development as a result of his isolation. He is a contradictory character; at the same time he is practical ingenuity and immature decisiveness.

Xury: a friend/servant of Crusoe's, he also escapes from the Moors. A simple youth who is dedicated to Crusoe, he is admirable for his willingness to stand by the narrator. However, he does not think for himself.

Friday: another friend/servant of Crusoe's, he spends a number of years on the island with the main character, who saves him from cannibalistic death. Friday is basically Crusoe's protege, a living example of religious justification of the slavery relationship between the two men. His eagerness to be redone in the European image is supposed to convey that this image is indeed the right one.

Crusoe's father: although he appears only briefly in the beginning, he embodies the theme of the merits of Protestant, middle-class living. It is his teachings from which Crusoe is running, with poor success.
