6. Similarity of Robinson crusoe and
Gulliver travel
Two classics of world literature Robinson Crusoe wrote
by Daniel Defoe and Gulliver´s Travels wrote by
Jonathan Swift have important places in the history of
English novel. Swift had been Daniel Defoe´s main
competitor in the field of journalism for twenty years,
and it is obvious from Gulliver´s Travels that he had
been influenced by Defoe, both in the adoption of
fiction as a vehicle for his purpose, and in the use of a
plausible, matter-of-fact realism
7. Crusoe, like Defoe himself, was so thoroughly the
embodiment of the social and economic drives of the
early eighteenth century. The concentration on the
practical and the rational left little room for any real
exploration of character. There is not any exploration
of personal relationships: Crusoe´s attitude towards
marriage is the reverse of romantic - in his typically
practical view it was “neither to my advantage or
dissatisfaction”, but nothing more. He uses more the
practical sight than his feelings when he should deal
with most of situations and also he shows inability of
acknowledge everything different from himself.
8. Gulliver´s Travels is a work of fantasy lulled in the
course of the first few pages into a mood of complete
confidence, security and credulity. Gulliver finds
himself, after a long sleep of exhaustion, the prisoner
of tiny human beings who have fastened him securely
to the ground. The brilliant precision of the language
and imagery constitute a large part of the narrative
spell. Swift´s purpose in writing Gulliver´s Travels was
satirical and reformative, adopting new fictional
techniques and producing as a consequence the
prototype of the fable type of novel.
