	Variations of Robinson Crusoe
		that has battered and nearly drowned him, Robinson Crusoe manages to drag himself ashore; and looking back at the hostile sea, he is at first carried away by joy at his good luck in escaping the fate of his shipmates.
		Crusoe, too, is saved when the ship remains wedged among the rocks that had destroyed it -- for his tale, like Dante's, is also one of spiritual education and consequent spiritual deliverance.
		In this new situation "mere ingenuity," such as had saved Crusoe, is useless, and "As Crusoe made his clothes, so he no less,/ Must labour to invent his nakedness." But memories and imagination cannot prevail, and when he and Crusoe visit the shore, Friday follows the prints made by an unshod foot into the surf.

		Daniel Defoe in the Robinson Crusoe story makes it plain that many of the trials and tribulations that Crusoe endured could have been avoided if he had just listened to the parental advice that was given him.
		Thirdly, in two personal visits to Tobago with the Robinson Crusoe book in hand, I found that every essential feature of the island matches so perfectly the details of the story that I could not evade the conclusion that Defoe had this island in mind when he wrote the famous story.

		Dem "Robinson" liegt die Geschichte des schottischen Matrosen Alexander Selkirk zugrunde, der als etwa Dreißigjähriger von seinem Schiffe desertierte, über vier Jahre einsam auf der Insel Juan Fernandez lebte und 1709 von dem englischen Kapitän Rogers dort aufgefunden und nach der Heimat zurückgebracht wurde.
		Ein abenteuerlustiger Knabe, der seinen Eltern ausrückt, zu Schiff geht, als Schiffsbrüchiger eine menschenleere Insel umweit der Orinokomündung erreicht und hier, ganz allein auf sich angewiesen, durch die harte Notwendigkeit erfinderisch gemacht, sich alles, was zur Notdurft, zum Schutze, zur Bequemlichkeit des Lebens gehört, verschafft oder anfertigt.
		Die erste läßt Robinson mit Freitag abenteuerliche Reisen durch China und Sibirien unternehmen und führt die beiden dann in ihr Inselreich zurück, das sie zu einem Idealstaat auf christlicher Grundlage ausbauen; die zweite bringt gar nur Reflexionen und moralische Betrachtungen über Robinsons Leben.

		Crusoe's own values are straightforward: he wants to remain sane, a Christian, to make the best of it through the best use of his resources, and survive long enough to be rescued.
		For Crusoe - whose literal approach to civilisation and godliness is debatable (`Civilisation starts with trousers' he asserts at one point) - Friday's arrival is both a relief and a challenge.
		As a companion, he alleviates loneliness, but Crusoe's initial treatment of him as a servant rather than an equal is only rectified after Friday ‘sulks' – an profound absence amplified by the simultaneous death of Crusoe's dog.

	Full text and plot summary of Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe
		It is based, in fact, upon the experiences of Alexander Selkirk who had run away to sea in 1704 and requested to be left on an uninhabited island to be rescued five years later.
		Crusoe ends up on a desert island in the manner of Selkirk.With only a few supplies from the ship he builds a house, a boat and a new life.
		His island is not wholly uninhabited, though, and there is the exciting but ominous presence of cannibals who Crusoe occasionally encounters and saves a native from.

	"Robinson Crusoe" (Site not responding. Last check: )
		John J. Richetti expanded the view of Crusoe as the typical Englishman, seeing him rather as the archetypal "personage of the last two hundred and fifty years of European consciousness." Obviously this view is Eurocentric and excludes non-Europeans.
		Coleridge saw Crusoe in universal terms, as "a representative of humanity in general; neither his intellectual nor his moral qualities set him above the middle degree of mankind...." He is "the universal representative, the person for whom every reader could substitute himself.
		This is the reason, I suggest, that Crusoe can be assimilated into diverse cultures, that the meanings assigned him change to reflect changes in a society, that he can be given conflicting meanings, and that he reaches into the private souls of individuals.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Robinson Crusoe on Mars
		Robin Crusoe (1966), which took place on an Earth-bound island; however, Robinson Crusoe on Mars is actually a thoughtful updating of Defoe’s original, transplanting our hero’s 18th century wanderlust efficiently to American dreams of space travel in the 1960s.
		Robinson Crusoe on Mars encourages the viewer to face issues that are as relevant today as they were in the 1960s: propaganda, war, and discrimination.
		I transcribed subsequent quotations from a videotape of Robinson Crusoe on Mars.

	Notes for Robinson Crusoe
		Crusoe, in a highly detailed and unflinchingly honest narrative, reveals to us his struggles with willfulness, prejudice, alienation, God's providence, theology.
		Perhaps because Robinson Crusoe is an everyman character, he does not become a wooden or stereotyped castaway.
		Indeed, the arrival of Friday and the new role of Crusoe as spiritual teacher is a major influence in his own development.

	Robinson Crusoe
		The Orlando-UCF Shakespeare Festival gives Crusoe a wild ride, filled with shipwrecks, cannibals, ferocious animals, religious conversion, faithful friends and a journey into self that leaves Robinson Crusoe a changed man. With so much action packed into a slim couple of hours, chances are you'll barely have time to catch your breath.
		Crusoe fears cannibalistic savages, and Spaniards, and mutineers; he's afraid of beasts in the forest, and fever, and the sun.
		Crusoe eventually makes a raft, which he uses to take himself back and forth from the ship to scavenge what stores he might eat to sustain himself, as well as other items to help him survive.
