the symbol of Robinson Crusoe

英语小说迪娜

I believe in Robinson Crusoe, the sea is a driving force that subjects men, beasts, and land to its storms, current and ebbs, and to a point represents God in the novel. Crusoe first goes to sea unconcerned about thoughts of God, yet after his hardships he returns home a man of Christian ways, albeit with some doubts. For example, when encountering his first storm on his voyage, Crusoe prays to God to spare his life, so Crusoe may like a true repenting Prodigal, go home to his father.
