Abstract

The novel Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe, theme depicts the philosophy of existentialism. Existentialism argues the existence of humans through freedom of choice of the existence of who or what to become. The Robinson Crusoe character’s struggle to realize his freedom of life and defend his existence exemplars the existentialism. Robinson was adamant to his fathers’ advice and went to the sea. This paper discusses the characteristics of existentialism evident in the novel Robinson Crusoe. These aspects include the essence of existence, existence precedes essence, human alienation or estrangement, Fear and Trembling Anxiety, The Encounter with Nothingness, and Freedom. The relationships between existence and freedom of choice in human life establish the fact on augmentation of existentialism, as seen in Robinson Crusoe Character.

存在主义的扩充：鲁滨逊的性格

丹尼尔·笛福的小说《鲁滨逊漂流记》以存在主义哲学为主题。存在主义通过自由选择成为谁或成为什么来论证人类的存在。《鲁滨逊漂流记》中人物为实现自己的生命自由和捍卫自己的生存而进行的斗争是存在主义的典型。罗宾逊坚持父亲的建议，下了海。本文论述了小说《鲁滨逊漂流记》中明显的存在主义特征。这些方面包括存在的本质、存在先于本质、人的异化或隔阂、恐惧与颤抖的焦虑、与虚无的相遇和自由。生存与人生选择自由之间的关系为存在主义的发展奠定了基础，如《鲁滨逊漂流记》中的人物形象。

期刊介绍： English is an internationally known journal of literary criticism, published on behalf of The English Association. Each issue contains essays on major works of English literature or on topics of general literary interest, aimed at readers within universities and colleges and presented in a lively and engaging style. There is a substantial review section, in which reviewers have space to situate a book within the context of recent developments in its field, and present a detailed argument. English is unusual among academic journals in publishing original poetry. This policy embodies the view that the critical and creative functions, often so widely separated in the teaching of English, can co-exist and cross-fertilise each other.
