28. Robinson Crusoe as a Myth

Faust- single minded pursuit of knowledge
Don Juan- Single minded pursuit of women
Don Quixote- single minded pursuit of women

Robinson Crusoe- single minded pursuit of achievement and enterprise

Robinson Crusoe- 3 essential themes
-Back to Nature
-Dignity of Labor
-Economic Man

It's not author that makes a story a myth, it's the society.
