What is the cause and effect of Robinson Crusoe?

Cause: Robinson Crusoe was born in a respected merchant family, eager to sail and bent on seeing something overseas. I went to London without my father knowing, where I bought some fake beads and toys to do business in Africa.

What happened: On the fourth voyage, the ship encountered a storm on the way, and all the companions on board were killed. Only Robinson survived and drifted to a desert island alone. Made a raft from the mast of the sunken ship, transported food, clothes, guns and ammunition to the shore again and again, and set up tents on the hillside to settle down.

Then surround the tent with sharpened stakes and dig holes behind it. Make furniture such as tables and chairs with simple tools. Hunting wild animals for food and drinking fresh water from streams. Get through the initial difficulties.

Results: Robinson left the desert island and returned to England with Friday and the captain. By this time, Robinson had been away from home for 35 years (living on the island for 28 years).

The main contents of Robinson Crusoe:

This work mainly tells the story that the protagonist Robinson Crusoe was born in a middle-class family and devoted his life to traveling around the world. Once, when I was sailing in Africa, I was caught in a storm and drifted to an uninhabited desert island alone, starting a story of isolated life. With strong will and unremitting efforts, he survived tenaciously on a desert island and returned to his hometown after 28 years and 2 months 19 days.

This novel was written by Defoe inspired by a true story at that time. 1704 In September, a Scottish sailor named alexander selkirk quarreled with the captain and was abandoned by the captain in the Atlantic Ocean. After living on a desert island for four years and four months, he was rescued by Captain woodes rogers.

Defoe, based on the legendary story of selkirk, devoted his many years of sea experience to the characters and made full use of his rich imagination to process the literature, making Robinson not only a hero in the eyes of the middle and small bourgeoisie at that time, but also the first idealized emerging bourgeoisie in western literature.

After many years of publication, the novel has been translated into many languages and widely circulated all over the world, and has been adapted into movies and TV series for many times.
