Colonialism
Colonialism is
clearly apparent. To put the literary work into its proper context, It should
be noticed story published in 1719. Colonialism is seen in the story after
Crusoe leaves the island for while he is there, he realizes that the thing he
valued in England, Brazil and on his travels revolved around money. Returning
to civilization, his desire for money emerges again.
“When I took leave of this
Island, I carried.. the money I formerly mentioned, which had lain by me so
long useless that it was grown rusty or tarnished, and could hardly pass for
his silver..”
Colonialism is also seen in how Crusoe treats Friday once
they leave the island. Relationship between Crusoe and Friday is a microcosm of
the British empire’s relationship with indigenous people.
