... In the story Robinson Crusoe, by Daniel Defoe, the setting, plot, characterization,
point of view and tone help illustrate the theme. ... In Defoe’s
Robinson Crusoe, the historical setting takes place on an uninhabited island in the mid-
1600’s. The main character, Robinson Crusoe, must learn how to survive on his own. ... “I, poor miserable Robinson Crusoe, being shipwrecked, during a dreadful
storm in the offing, came to shore on this dismal unfortunate island, which I called “the
Island of Despair,” all the rest of the ship’s company being drowned, and myself almost
dead. ... The two main characters are Robinson Crusoe and his trusted friend
Friday whom he saved from cannibals. ... ” (Defoe pg 97)
The theme, one must never give up hope and determination while encountering
major difficulties, is illustrated greatly in the story Robinson Crusoe by setting, plot,
characterization, point of view, and tone.
