【正文】 It was true that Robinson could hardly refrain from tears while the old friend spoke. However, these tears were from false sympathy. C. Robinson’s Control on the I sland From the two pieces of evidence, Robinson’s false imitation of Christ and his ugly soul are presented in front of readers. In the novel, Robinson developed himself by the means of making others as victims, first Xury, second Friday, and then the prisoners on the island. He was called the “Master”, and the “Governor” on the island。 he gave his successors supplies of all necessary things, and particularly of arms, powder, shot, clothes, tools. He made the island his colony. Besides, when Robinson and Friday fought with the wolves, a form of colonization came up. Friday was first enslaved by Robinson, and then he took his Master’s gun and served as his bodyguard or even lackey, to fight against wolves, for that would made his Master happy. When Robinson said: “You fool you”, but Friday did not resist because he was totally enslaved. In the novel, those pitiful wolves are the representatives of the toiling masses in the third world, . those developing and undeveloped countries, Friday is the hateful acplice of the colonists and Robinson the colonists. All in all, by describing Robinson’s experience, the author presented a record of the colonists’ brilliant history as well as blood and tears. No matter how brave Robinson was, he was truly a colonist with hands full of others’ blood. V. Conclusion In Robinson Crusoe, values are displayed as follows: the only way for people to make fortune is to pursue independent, diligent work and that is the mere thing people e to the world for. In the novel, Defoe shows a vivid picture of the newly rising bourgeoisie’s evil accumulation of capital. In the picture, Defoe made Robinson as a boat in the sea, with Puritanism as one oar on the left and economic individualism as the other oar on the right. He made wisdom and diligence as a sail. Robinson, salvaging the fortune regardless of day and night, was moving to the end of life. Robinson Crusoe is also a journal of business. He was never satisfied with the middle state of life although he never made his ambition widely known. He always had an astonishing ability to observe himself and excellent selfcontrol, as well as the motivation to seek for passion and wonderful creativity. All these abilities above made him a total capitalist. Robinson’s desire to accumulate wea lth and his religious concept are typical features of many capitalists of that capitalist period. He gathers the features of the newly rising bourgeoisie and the Puritans, along with the evil nature of the colonists. He can be said to be the spokesman of the capitalist value of Defoe’s time. Robinson Crusoe’s success not only lies in the literature field, but also in the history field, the religion field and the philosophy field. When people analyze the novel, they need to do it from the intellectual aspect but not the plot itself. However, as readers in the third world, we should use rationality to look at this novel. In the textbook for the primary school students, only the deeds worthy praise are excerpted. Thus, students regard Robinson as a powerful and courageous hero in their minds. They take it naturally when Friday called Robinson the “Master” and some of them laugh at Friday’s clumsiness, without knowing how many Fridays appeared in history of our country. Isn’t such phenomenon a kind of pity in our education? From the students’ misconception about the novel, we can see that this novel has spread over the world superficially more or less. Thus, a clear and overall mind is necessary when we try to analyze the figure. It is wise for us to treat the novel and the history honestly and objectively.

People begin to pursue love, enjoyment while the spirit of religion which is symbolic of love for the God wanes. The utilitarianism begins to be popular. 10 馬克思 .韋伯 彭強(qiáng)、黃曉京譯，《新教倫理與資本主義精神》，西安：陜西師范大學(xué)出版社， 1985年，第 24頁(yè)第 2段。
