5. Robinson Crusoe's novel belongs to the
genre of realistic novel. The story is written
in first person. The style of the narrative is
very matter-of-fact, he generally tells us only
about his actions and what physically
happens to him. Occasionally he reflects on
religious questions. Another interesting
feature is the organization of the story that is
no real novelist plot but isadiary.

of the middle class. His creator, Danie
Defoe, wasawriter of modest culture,
born in the middle class, which
contrasted with the decadence and
corruption of the great noble
landowners. Gave voice to the
aspirations of its own economic and
political class.
Themain character:
7. ● A religio us allego ry; in fact there’s the puritan idea about men’s
redemption from sin.
●An eco no mic allego ry; in fact is an allegory of merchant
capitalism.
●An allego ry o f British imperialism; in fact the story demonstrates
that Crusoe, with his superiority about culture, must civilize and
convert savagesto Christianity.
