The
mythical referance of Christanity
says that due to the disobedience
of God by Adem and Eve in
Eden Garden, thy've got the
punishment of facing so many
problems. In the same way
Crousoe's disobedience of
his father also symbolically
near to the disobedience of
Adem and Eve. When Crousoe
disobides his father the problem
and desasters of his life
are also started. Crousoe's
power to bear the touture
and suffering is also symbolically
related with Christ's power
of bearing pain and at last
getting the spiritual purification.
Here Crusoe's journey is a
kind of spiritual journey
rather than physical one.

Economic
doctrine in Robinson Crusoe.
Although
on the surface it seems that Robinson
Crusoe is largely novel of travel and
adventure, in fact it is not so. Economic
mentality has vital role in his character.
The protagonist in this novel prove
himself to be a potential capitalist.
In Dafoe's novel the protagonist either
have no family or leave the family at
an early age never to return to it.
Crusoe does have his parents with whom
he lives, but he leaves them from an
economic motive, wanting to improve
his economic condition. The argument
between his parents and Crusoe at the
beginning is a debate not about religion
or about filial (parental) duty, but
about his economic circumstances. Both
sides in this debate regard the economic
argument as the most important.
