DOWNLOAD ROBINSON CRUSOE – PART 2
Crusoe learns more of what it means to be a seaman. He is captured off the west coast of Africa and made a slave.
In this section of the novel we get into Defoe’s treatment of the issues of slavery and race. Reading the early parts of the novel, one might get the mistaken impression that Defoe is intolerant of other races. This is not the case. One must remember that he was writing his book before 1719. His continued treatment of the slavery issue throughout the novel is many years ahead of its time and shows him to be a deeply thoughtful and serious commentator on the social injustices he saw around him.
