friday brought emotional warmth to the people around him with his appealing personality. i think it was this personality that affected crusoe and made him say that he loved friday when crusoe didn’t express love for his parents, brothers, sisters, or even his wife. “when he espied me, he came running to me, laying himself down again upon the ground, with all the possible signs of an humble, thankful disposition, making many antic gestures to show it…to let me know how he would serve me as long as he lived.” this was what friday did after crusoe had rescued him from the two savages chasing him. it was easy for me to see why crusoe had loved friday. after sometime, crusoe and friday were to rescue friday’s father. when friday reunited with his father, the scene was easy to move anyone: “it would have moved anyone to tears to have seen how friday kissed him, embraced him, hugged him, cried, laughed, halloed, jumped about, danced, sung; and then sung and jumped about again, like a distracted creature. it was a good while before i could make him speak to me.” this is my favourite chapter in the whole book. it is hard to see why friday is an ex-savage when he can have personalities more praiseworthy than many civilized people, viz. crusoe himself. “when he (friday) went to him (friday’s father), he would sit down by him, open his breast, and hold his father’s head close to his bosom, half an hour together, to nourish it; then he took his arms and ankles, which were numbed and stiff with the binding, and rubbed them with his hands.” furthermore, friday’s expression of loyalty in asking crusoe to kill him rather than leave him is more heartfelt than anything crusoe ever says or does.
crusoe, on the absolute contrary, seems incapable of deep feelings, as shown by his account of leaving his family—he never shows any emotions. after a moving lecture from robinson’s father about his future, he still decided to follow his own wandering ambition. careless was he about the wishes of his parents to keep him alive and prosperous, as he was the only child left in the family. when he came back from the island which he had lived on for twenty eight years, he found that it had been too late to tell his parents that he was still alive, but yet again he did not feel sorry for them; he also did not feel sorry for the two people who had to live in misery for nearly thirty years under the allusion all of their sons were dead. he had the same feelings for his wife: when he was married, he said it was “not either to my disadvantage or dissatisfaction”, implying that it was also neither to his advantage nor his satisfaction. moreover, after his wife died, robinson did not think of looking after the three children they had, but went back to the island, which he had lived on for twenty-eight years. it was on this trip which robinson crusoe revisited “his island” as he called it. i feel that robinson’s indifference to his family is almost emotionally cruel.
