11、mily in 1660, in London. He was once a businessman, who ran the enterprise of underclothes, cigarettes and wine trade, he had lived through some difficulties, but he could save his enterprise every time after his failure, meanwhile, he showed us his stable determination to fight against his fate. He

12、 could not be destroyed. All of those experiences paved the way of thought and technique of the accomplishment of his masterpiece Robinson Crusoe. That is, the success of Robinson Crusoe is not occasional. It is said that besides Bible, Robinson Crusoe is the most published book. Today, the book has

13、 been regarded as the first long fiction in the world.B. the Introduction of the Brief Content Robinson Crusoe was written under the enlightenment of a real story in 18th. A Scottish seafaring man in Britain ship named Alengzander slake clashed against his captain, and was deserted in an isolated is

14、land, which had the distance of 500 meters far away from the coast of Chile. He lived alone there for about four years; he was finally saved by a famous sailor and was taken home in 1771. The event had evoked great interesting in the Europe. Robinson Crusoe, who was created by Daniel Defoe, was a re

15、presentative of bourgeoisie, an ideal hero, what he advocated was not to satisfy with annoyance, but to develop, to work and to attain something through your effort. We can see the tradition of western civilization from him and his adventure spirit. The works praises peoples work spirit. The fiction

16、 opens up the way of English realism fiction. Robinson Crusoe, who was the protagonist of The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, was a person of stubborn, aggressive and firm. Because of his decision to go out to see the outside world and know it, he finally went out to be a

17、sailor without the concession of his parents. He became a slave in the coast of Africa because of the attack by a group of pirates, but he later escaped there for that he can not bear the hard life, and he was saved by a Portugal ship, and he was carried to Brazil safely, where he attained a lot of

18、money. But he was not satisfied with such property and designed to his dream to be on the way to sell slaves in Africa when somebody advised him to do so. Just because of it, he was flowed to an isolated island and was reduced to a lonely man without any company. Thank goodness, there were so much f

19、ood, clothes and tools left in the ship which was wrecked on the coast. He could still be alive for those materials. During the period, Bible was his spirit support, he built house, got rice, tamed sheep and made leather clothes by the fur of animals. After twenty eight years, he was saved by an Eng

20、lish ship to England.II. The Process of Being Locked on the Isolated IslandA. The Conflict of Robinson Crusoes CharacterWe can not clearly define the character of Robinson Crusoe, because his character was complex. On the one hand, he was undoubtedly weak for his bourgeois status, he was tired of th

21、e boring commercial life, and was afraid of the existed and disagreeable way to be rich and devoting all his life to such common profession; he wanted to have another life style which could supply him excitement and energy. In a word, he wanted to attain most of what he wanted, and be far away from

22、the earthly world. He wanted to live a special life. On the other hand, he liked freedom, and attempted to pursue his own life, he was also willing to achieve his dream at any price, even worked hard. His strong point of his character was showed here completely. His weakness in the common life just

23、converted to the strong point of his later sailing life, which was a sharp different world from what he had lived for about twenty years.B.The First Decision to Go for SailingRobinson Crusoe was supposed to live happy and easy life, but he attempted to go out from his parents house to sail in the se

24、a without following his parents advice for his own dream though his parents had leaved lots of property for him. He came out with several companies and began his sailing life.C.The Second Decision to Stay in the SeaAll of his thought promoted him to go out to Hull, and met one of his friends, who pe

25、rsuaded him to go to London, so he suffered the first storm in the sea. At this time, he wanted to go home very much and felt regret that he did not follow his parents words, but when the sea calmed down, he forgot the fear and worry during the storm, just concentrated himself to the beautiful and p

26、eaceful evening. This was the second time he followed his own thought and created the prelude of his later lonely life.D. Meeting the Serious Disaster in the SeaOnce he decided to stay in the sea, his fate could not be controlled by himself but only the disasters in the sea. The storm was varied and

27、 changeable. It could take away his life anytime, his second unhappiness was coming. This was a storm lasted longer and more serious than the first time. Luckily, he and his company were saved. This time he may probably go back with the grave persuasion of an older. But still he did not go back just

28、 for his pity self-ego, he was afraid of confronting with the discrimination and hatred opposed the best motions that to go home, That they are not ashamd to sin, and yet was ashamd to repent, not ashamd of the Action for which they ought justly to be esteemd fools, but are ashamd of the returning,

29、which only can make them be esteemd wise men.(Defoe,16)This was the third time his personality put him to the abyss of his unlucky fate.E. Being Locked in the Isolated IslandThus, he continued to sail with his company, but unluckily, they were attacked by a group of pirates, Robinson Crusoe was caug

30、ht as a slave of a Moor. Though he finally escaped from his Master, and earned enough money by doing some trade with others, and could live a quiet retired life and of which his father had so carefully described the middle station of life, he was still interested in some other things, he finally wen

31、t to Africa to do the business of selling slaves, which was the real beginning of his unlucky fate. From now on, he was locked in the isolated island.F. The Character of Robinson CrusoeFrom the above facts, we the readers may hold that Robinson Crusoe was a person with unreasonable, even mad persona

32、lity, he could be easy and happy whatever life style he chose as long as he had not decide to go to Africa. Before he was reduced to be a lonely man, he had experienced the similar condition, the only difference was he was saved and could live the normal life, he himself once said that if he was not

33、 so aggressive and impious, he could never experience such kind of terrible life. When he was concentrated in the great ecstasy of survival, new danger was waiting for him. The life on the isolated island was difficult that we can not imagine. There were no existed food, no place to have a rest, no

34、people to communicate with, besides all of these, the worst was the fear itself, he would be attacked by wild animal anytime, Therefore, he must be alert to everything every time. If Robinson Crusoe was weak, he might have lost his heart to continue his life, and might do nothing. But he did not do

35、so, the base of his unlucky fate was just his aggressive character, therefore, he was not depressed, not negative but positive to fight against nature, all of his activities were not only for survival, but also for creation. The first problem he must solve on the island was survival, Robinson Crusoe

36、 was born in the middle class family, so he believed his own strength very much, he believe only his own effort, not others, can help him to make his dream come true, to help him climb up the ladder of the social. Therefore, he moved all of the useful materials to the island and did not fell tired f

37、or about forty times. So, he felt not so sad when the wrecked ship was flown by sea wave and then he built tent, made fence, built the house to live in, caught fish and sheep as food. In a word, he did everything he could to prepare for his later life on the isolated island. Thank goodness, he attai

38、ned enough food and materials to live on, and because of his kindness, he saved a person named Friday, who helped Robinson Crusoe a lot, finally they saved a ship, in turn, the people in the ship saved them, they took them back to Britain. Until now, we could see Robinson Crusoe was reduced to be a

39、vagrant, but finally he came back to human being.From his life that he escaped from his family to being saved by others, what he faced was almost all difficulty. Through the slight description and discussion, we have been informed that what Robinson Crusoe faced was almost all difficulty and dangers

40、 that a common people can hardly deal with, even dare not confront with, but Robinson Crusoe faced them bravely. Just as his words, it is disgusting to cherish the thought of going home to live easy life. He held there was a kind of mysterious force made him go forward, and he attributed all of this

41、 to Gods will, he showed his aggressive character that he did not want to obey the traditional life style, his so-called “mysterious predestination” just reflected spirit condition of denying the bound of modern tradition and demanding the development of primate freedom, his strange thought just ref

42、lected his courage and lofty quality of opening up new world, all of which formed his bourgeois character.From all these above, we could come to the conclusion that Robinson Crusoe chose his life, and was responsible for his own choice, he saved himself in the loneliness for a long time, he was succ

43、essful. What I want to say is that, his success was not only due to his survival, but also his maintained health and integrity and personality, he still had the common sense, which had not been corroded by endless loneliness, in turn, he abstained his fruit that a common can not achieve even can not

44、 imagine. We could praise him undoubtedly that he is a hero, a hero not only in his own times, his own country, but also in all human being. His strong mind, kind heart, aggressive temperament help him achieve the utmost of his life, in the above passage, we have analyzed Robinson Crusoe was a perso

45、n with complex character, he was weak in the earthly society, but strong minded in his own choice and he was kindhearted to save Friday who finally helped him escaped from that isolated island. The adventure story tells us, as a human being, wed better live according to our own will, whatever disast

46、ers we will meet, and the most important point is we must form a good character that can be responsible for the life we have chosen. It is important to have a character of strong minded, steadfast, tough and tensile to face our life. Just as Shakespeares motto in Cymbeline: trouble is the mother of

47、strong for ever.III. Different Character, Different FateA. The Important Role of Character in the Daily LifeIn our modern society, people live in a world that contains fierce competition; most people live with great pressure. There is an American journalist interviewed the great banker：“ what is the

48、 most factor of your success?” He answered without any hesitation: “Character”, a series of questions following: what is character? What kind of character is good for success in such a society?B. The Relationship between Proper and Improper Character Psychologists find that improper character is an

49、important factor leading to be suffered and failure, such as sensitive, sheltie, stubborn, unconfident, introversive, self-center, irritable, and pay excessive attention to others evaluation. In fact, the development of healthy and integrated character is more important than the intelligence, just like ability can be formed gradually, but habit need our continuous training; many successful companies focus on first the degree of the expansion of the employees character when they are planning to absorb some new workers.The
