Consequently, Friday not only lost his liberty, but also suffered culture construction and finally reduced to the dilemma of losing his national culture identity. A. Changing Their Primitive Life Style Into an Easier Life Firstly, it was changing their primitive lifestyle: eating men?s flesh, the habit of 攀枝花學(xué)院本科畢業(yè)論文 Body 11 being naked and using wooden tools and arms. Such civilization was still in the first stage of the society: prim。 on the desert island. A large amount of details covered the evil colonial history as well as Crusoe?s colonial attitude—his possessiveness, his desire to exploit others, his willingness to enslave another human being. When he met Friday he felt that Friday was meant to bee his slave, or servant, and that he had to be converted to Christianity. 2. The Ugly Black along the African Coast The opposite of the civilized white were the colored, especially the black had worse image than the Indies. With full of discrimination, the black were called as Negroes. In the novel, we could find that they had the character of simplicity, friendliness and wisdom. When Robinson asked some food to eat, they were so kindly to fetch the food for the stranger. They were not as foolish as we originally imagined, and thought out a good idea to give the food to Robinson within precaution of each other: “they took a safe way for us all, for they brought it to the shore and laid it down, and went and stood a great way off till we fetched it on board and then came close to us again.”(Defoe, 22) They lived with nature, and mastered many skills to support their life. They did much better work at taking off the skin of the leopard only with the sharpened piece of wood. However, in the whites? eyes, they were stereotypically contented fool, offensive, ugly, suppositious, lazy, weird and pessimistic. They were still unavoidable to depict as ugly people with quite black and stark naked, “The 攀枝花學(xué)院本科畢業(yè)論文 Body 9 women were as stark naked as the men”. (Defoe, 24) They looked strong, while in front of the beasts, they were extremely frightened and were vulnerable to the attack of wild animals. They had no arms except a long slender stick that they would throw them a great distance with good aim, though it couldn?t resist the attack of the wild beasts. When they saw Robinson?s advanced arms—gun and powder that he used to kill the leopard as a reward for their food, they were so astonished that “some of them were even ready to die for fear, and fell down as dead with terror”. (Defoe, 23) Besides, the foolish local people worshiped the gun and guntaker。, dominated nature and set up his 39。 kindness, honesty, integrity, and generosity, which showcased their civilization. The second symbol showed their civilization was that they had the sense of 攀枝花學(xué)院本科畢業(yè)論文 Body 8 making a contract. When the saved Spaniard was pointed to deliver other of his panions, they made a contract. Another example during saving the captain and reclaiming the ship, Robinson made two conditions as a verbal contract. At length, they carried out as what they made beforehand. Here strengthened the westerner civilization. The third evidence of civilization was the great amount of narrative words to display the positive image of Robinson. Ingles once described this character was “a real capitalist”. (Ian, 1951) As the sole survivor of a shipwreck, he relied on his faith in God, intelligence and Protestant upbringing which decreed that the selfmade man had to depend on himself, his own hard work and ingenuity in order to survive. He was not only mastered the skill of making tools, owning the modern science knowledge, emphasizing on humanism, order and law, and advocating honesty and loyalty. It narrated that he had all the noble and lottery personality of people. Defoe did a good job to create a situation where Robinson, who represented the 39。 said he, 39。s integrity, honesty and hospital, he learned a lot and set up for a trader. Later, the captain?s widow continued to support him as kind as the captain, even if she was in unfavorable conditions. The third kind captain delivered Robinson from the sea when he escaped out of slavery. He was not only kind to save but also generous delivered goods for him without taking anything from him, for he believed that, “?I have saved your life on no other terms than I would be glad to be saved myself, and it may one time or other be my lot to be taken up in the same condition。 as the just and kind people。 …” (Defoe, 191192) 攀枝花學(xué)院本科畢業(yè)論文 Body 5 From the version of Friday met his father again, we can find that Friday rather missed his own motherland and relatives. The white didn?t release him from disaster but had him into another one: losing liberty and longing for relatives. Although Defoe tried to persuade that it was reasonable to enslave “the other”, we can still read the miserable life of “Friday”. The latter well tell us that their lives never turned out to easier when they changed into the slaves of the westerners and Christians。 for he went into the boat and out of the boat a great many times. When he went in to him, he would sit down by him, open his breast, and hold his father?s head close to his bosom, half an hour together, to nourish it。 but when he came a little to himself he told me that it was his father. It is not easy for me to express how it moved me to see what ecstasy and filial affection had worked in this poor savage, at the sight of his father and of his being delivered from death。s cultural colonization to
