Colonial discourse in Robinson Crusoe:

Colonialism is defined as...

...the establishment, maintenance, acquisition and expansion of Colonies is one territory by people from another territory.

England was for a ling while, by far the most powerful and widely spread colonial empire in the world. For instance, there were the American colonies, as well as a British presence in China and India. in fact, it is only in the last ten years that Hong Kong reverted from the English back to china.

Colonization occurred primarily in...

...the late 15th to 20th century...the justifications included...Christian missionary work, the profits to be made, the expansion of the power of the metropole and various religious and political beliefs.

Portugal was, at once time, a dominant colonial force in Europe, as was Spain. Their position as colonial powers faltered in the seventeenth century, while England and France surged ahead to become the prevailing world powers.

In Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, colonialism is clearly apparent. To put the literary work into its proper context, it should be noted that the story was published in 1719, and England was enjoying the prosperity of the American colonies. England had adopted the stance that "God is on the side of the English" during Queen Elizabeth I's reign , this attitude had not diminished. Surely it only increased, which also included "island in the West indies".

Colonialism works in our life:

In our contemporary time, colonialism works, mentally our mind  set up with the way that britishers rule upon us. After independence we have so much changes Aare held. but still we follow the western customs.  The some celebration of birthday and engagements imposed by britishers . The foreign influences of customs, business and beauty products we use. Colonialism of food and clothes are raised with trend in india which are most followed by people. Western influences made our mind that colonialism is part of development. But in such a way our rituals and customes getting off by this type of foreign influences.

The movie is different than the original text in so many ways:

1. Movie focus only on one aspect, there are many other things like repenting, dis obeying his parents, the whole life of Crusoe that is not presented in the film.

2.  In the movie when Crusoe tells about his God that his God is the creator of this world. Then Friday argued that he didn't believe in God. Friday says that his god is 'Pokya' a crocodile. In text when Crusoe trying to imposed his God, Friday get convinced easily without any arguement. but in movie reflects the Friday doesn't consider to him and then he began argue with him.

3. In the novel when Crusoe tells Friday to go back to his own land, Friday started apologising, he feels that he had done something wrong thats why his master did not need him any more. He was emotionally attached by Crusoe and never want to leave his company. In the film there is total opposite situation. Crusoe needs Friday's company, his friendship. Crusoe can't live without Friday in that unknown island.

4.In original text before this there are two or three voyages already done. There is shipwreck, Crusoe's returns to his home and again starts a new voyage. These all things are absent in the adapted  movie.
