Crusoe'snegativecharacter4.1TheimageofmoneyworshipInthenovel,Robinson’scharactersareinfluenceddeeplybycapitalism.Tosumextent,heisamoneyworshiper.Hewasanexploiterandcolonizerbeforearrivingatthedesertedisland,andhewenttoAfricatosellslaves,andventuredmanytimestogooverseastodobusinesstoobtainhighprofits.Everythinghedidwasformoney,forprofit,whichwaspeopleyearnedforintheera.Heregardeddesertislandashispropertyandtriedtotransformhishome,andwhenhisagenttoldhimhewouldhavealotofmoney,heevensaidthathebelievedthissuddensurprisewouldmadehimlosehismindandkilledonthespot,whichreflectedhisgoldworshipimage.Andthiskindofmoneyworshipisundesirableinourmodernsociety.Weallknowthatmoneycannotbuyhappiness.Ifapersononlyhasmoneyinhiseyesandisfullofindifference,sohewillnotbehappy.Wemustproperlymaintainthebalancebetweenmoneyandhappiness,andlearntobesatisfied.4.2TheimageofexploiterandcolonistWhenRobinsonlivesinthedesertisland,hispossessionconsciousnessrosespontaneously,allthesewerehisownnow.Heusedtheislandashis“littlekingdom”.Intheprocessofexploringandoccupyingthedesertisland,hethoughtthathealreadyhadresidentsontheisland,andhealreadyhadalotofpeople.Hewasthekinghere.Inthefirstplace,thewholeislandwashispersonalproperty,becausehehadaterritorialrightthatwasunquestionable.Second,allhispeoplearecompletelyobedienttohim.Hewastheirrulerandlawgiver.Fouryearslater,hemet“Friday’’andtraineditasaservantthroughviolence.Afteralongadjustmentto“Friday”,“Friday’’completelylostitsnationalcultureandcompletelysurrenderedtoRobinson.AtthesightofRobinson,“Friday’’boweddownandwascompletelyobedient,whichwasRobinson'scolonialimage(SongHutang:2014).Topreservehisdominanceonthedesertisland,hewantonlyslaughteredtheoriginalindigenouspeopleonthedesertislandwithouthumanity.Althoughhesavedthe“Friday’’,whichwasabouttobeeatenbythecannibals,hecivilised“Friday’’withculturetomakehimthatthemaster'swordswerealwaysright.ButitwasnotRobinson'sintention,buthesawthevalueof“Friday’’labor,andhewantedtocompletelyconvert“Friday’’asaloyalslave(LiJinghui：2014).Also,whenanEnglishshiparrivedattheisland,heimmediatelyorganizedadefenseoftheisland.Whenthesailorsrebelledagainstthecaptain,hemadetwoconditionsbeforeagreeingtohelphimsubduethemutiny.Hesaid,theymustnotinfringeuponhissovereigntyovertheislandwhiletheyremainonitfirstly.Atthesametime,theymustbecompletelyunderhiscontrol.Second,incasetheshipwasrecaptured,theymustbringhimandhismenbacktoEnglandfreeofcharge.Whenhewaslivingonadesertislandandbegantoexploretheislandforpossession,hethoughtthattheresidentsontheislandwereallhissubjectsandhewastheking.Hetrained“Friday’’tobehismostfaithfulservantandtoworkforhim,andbytheend“Friday’’hadforgottenhisoriginallanguageandculture.Heregardedthedesertislandashisterritory,seizedotherpeople'sthingsforhisown.Whenashippassedthroughthedesertisland,healsoorganizedpersonneltoguardagainstoccupationandaggression.Bynow,Robinsonhasbecomearealoverseascolonistandexploiter.4.3TheimagesofSelfishness,vanityandhypocrisyInRobinson,wecanalsoseehisselfishness,vanityandhypocrisy.Bornintoawealthyfamily,hecouldhavemaintainedhiswealthbyplanting,buthedreamedofmorewealthfaraway.Inthefirstvoyage,hedidnoteventellhisparentsabouthiswhereabouts.Hewasnotmovedbyhisfather'sadvice,norwasheaffectedbyhismother'sangerandsadness,aimingattheopportunity,toleavehisparentswithoutsayinggoodbye,leavinghome,fromnowonsetfootontheroadfullofdifficultiesandchallenges.Hisapproachistypicalselfishforhisfamily,especiallyforhiselderlyparents.Heproclaimedhissovereigntyoverthedesertislandonhisowninitiative,andcalledhimself“lord’’and“king’’toenjoyhisvanity,andteached“Friday’’tosaythefirstwordismaster,andrequiredhimtobeabsolutelyloyalandobedienttoRobinsonhimself,andjustifiablyregardedthedesertislandashisrightofownership.ThiscanbeareminderofRobinson'svanity.Afterlivingtheisland,hefoundonlyoldcaptainhelpedhim.Whenhelistenedtotheoldman'spainfulexperience,Robinsonlefttearsinhiseyes.Whenhecried,heaskedoldcaptainwhetherhecouldcomeupwithsomuchmoneyatthattimeinhiscurrentsituation,andwhetheritwouldmakehimnervous.Atthattime,theoldcaptainwasalreadyinadesperatesituation,andRobinsonstillsaidthis,whichreflectedhishypocriticalcharacter.Hisdevelopmentonthedesertislandwasachievedbybuyingandsellingpeopleatfirstsell“Julie’’togetmoney,then“Friday’’asaslave.ThesepeoplewereRobinson’strustworthyanddependentpeopleonthedesertisland.Buthechosetolosemoralitybysellingthemformoneyandforprofit，whichmorereflectedhishypocriticalcharacter(HeYang：2015).AllthesewerecloselyrelatedtothesocialsituationoftheBritishstateatthattime.Britaininthe18thcenturyhassuccessfullyestablisheditspositionasamaritimeandcolonialhegemon.Atthattime,thebourgeoisrevolutionenteredthestageofindustrialrevolution,whichacceleratedBritain'soverseascolonizationandmaritimetradeactivities.AftertheinfluenceoftheRenaissanceandtheEnlightenment,people’svalueshaveundergonegreatchanges,thatwas,peopleshouldworkhardfortheappreciationofpersonalmaterialwealth,begoodatmanagement,hadthecouragetotakerisks,andhadapioneeringspirit.Therefore,intheliterar
