Survival in solitude

After being stranded on an uninhabited island, Robinson Crusoe manages to discover his natural abilities that serve as indicators of his true character. At first glance the common adage, "Necessity is the mother of all inventions," appears to account for the character of Robinson Crusoe; however, further analysis suggests that the intelligence, industriousness, and optimism are inherent to Crusoe's personality. Sir Francis Bacon so aptly stated, "Prosperity doth best discover vice; but adversity doth best discover virtue." From the moment that Crusoe was stranded on the island until the day he was rescued he exhibits these qualities.

Crusoe's innate intelligence serves him well throughout his solitary life on the island. After agonizing over his plight, he consoles himself, and collects himself in order to move on. His shrewdness and practicality help him to overcome the obstacles that the island presents. He has enough forethought to recognize that the ship might be swept away by the tides, and he works continuously in order to salvage everything he can from the ship. He loses no time to make a trip to the ship


Crusoe's optimism and motivation are more than one can expect from a person marooned on an island for so many years. There is ample evidence of his optimism in his diary in which he contrasts good against evil, and ultimately views things in a more positive light. A brief excerpt from his diary is:

I am cast upon a horrible desolate island, void of all hope of recovery.
