Daniel Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe": Important Contexts
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. The social and philosophical context that resides within the literary masterpiece of Daniel Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe" exemplifies the nature of individualism and how this notion is often misconstrued within society's confined boundaries of human behavior. To be unique within a world of sameness is a quest sought by many people; however, it is by way of such an objective that one becomes labeled as selfish and intolerant of commonly accepted methods. This negative connotation of individualism – which is to maintain an independence from the norm – has cast an even darker meaning upon striving to achieve one's own distinctiveness. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Daniel Defoe's "Roxana" And Samuel Richardson's "Pamela": Eighteenth Century Male/Female Attitudes To Marriage, Chastity And Sex
[ send me this essay ]
9 pages in length. Virtue was synonymous with the female gender back in the eighteenth century; indeed, a woman without virtue was looked upon as being indigent of conscience. However, this social and emotional oppression was not placed upon women from their own kind, but rather, men were solely responsible for setting forth such gender rules. This stringent gender control made it very difficult for women to abide by their own desires, which is precisely the manner by which men were able to control the female spirit. Indeed, one might readily argue that without such disciplinary restriction, women of the eighteenth century would have been more likely to develop into emotionally well-rounded and spiritually enlightened individuals.
