���� introduction :
Robinson Crusoe is 18th century novel by Daniel Defoe . it was. published in 1719 . it is an adventure story of character Robinson Crusoe . it was among one of the most widely punished books . we seen many social issues in this novel .
The character of this novel are Robinson Crusoe , Friday , Xury , The Portuguese captain , The Spaniard .
���� Colonial discourse in Robinson Crusoe :
England was for a long while , by far the most powerful and widely spread colonial empire in the world Portugal was , at once time , a dominant colonial force in Europe , as was Spain in defo's Robinson Crusoe , colonialism is clearly apparent .
Crusoe gives a Christian name ' Friday ' who was nigro people of that island . Crusoe starts relationship between him and Friday as a ' MASTER - SLAVE ' and Crusoe called Friday as a ' MY MAN ' . Crusoe teach Friday to his English language .
Crusoe tells Friday to wear clothes but Friday was uncomfortable in wearing clothes . Crusoe started teaching his own Christian religion to Friday Crusoe tells him that his god is superior than his god .
���� How colonialism works in our life :
After independence we have so much changes are held . the some celebration of birthday and engagements imposed by Britishers . colonialism of food and clothes are raised with trend in India and clothes are raised with trend in India which are most followed by people .
���� The movie is different than the original text in so many ways :
1: Movie focus only on one aspect , there are many other things like repenting dis obeying his parents , the whole life of Crusoe that is not presenter in film .
2: in text when Crusoe trying to imposed his god , Friday get convinced easily without any argument , but in movie reflects the Friday doesn't consider to him and then he began argue with him .
3: in the novel when Crusoe tells Friday to go back to his own land , Friday started apologising he feels that he had done something wrong that's why his master did not need him any more . in the film there is total opposite situation Crusoe needs Friday's company , his friendship .
���� Anti - Colonialism elements :
The change in the film shows anti-colonial element of nature . Crusoe wants to become Friday's friend . the chemistry of their relation is shown in the film .
We can see strong bond between Crusoe and Friday . The original novel is written in 1719 while the movie is in 1997 and changing of time is reason that movie show anti - colonial elements .
Thank You .
