【正确答案】正确答案:Robinson Crusoe reflects British concept of an innocent, unspoiled savage to be saved by civilized , superior white man, whose colonization of savage land is, in the end, a form of salvation for the savage native population, which is actually a good excuse for their colonization. Friday, a savage man saved from hands of cannibals, is a fine example of such British concept. The colonization can be divided into two levels. The first level is on the colonist" s cultural colonization. The first word Crusoe taught Friday is "Master" which is said to be the name of Crusoe. Then he taught Friday English with plans as the first step of Friday" s evolution, never considering learning Friday" s language. The second step is his force to convert Friday" s religious belief into Christian, which is the master of Friday" s mind. Thus he controlled Friday completely. The second level of colonization is the colonist" s gun. He used arm force to guarantee his master position. This level is hidden behind the colonist" s salvation psychology. In nature Friday is good and therefore patient care of Crusoe lets him understand that a civilized man or a colonizing power can lift him out of the darkness of ignorance. That was also rational for colonizing numerous overseas lands where terrible atrocities occurred that white men" s rule was eventually for the good of savages, who may temporarily not be able to see its benefits.
