Robinson Crusoe starts out his adventures as a young lad of 18 years old who lives with his parents. He is from a wealthy family in England and seeks high seas adventures. He is somewhat spoiled and arranges to borrow money for a family member so that he can seek out his fortune by trading with the people in Africa. Despite being warned of the dangers that exist in a life at sea, he thinks that it is over exaggerated and goes on his quest anyway.
When he gets on the ship he is disappointed in himself because he becomes sick. He is later captured by pirates and has the strength and sense of mind to arrange a way to make his escape.
Once he moves to Brazil he settles down and has a plantation. He believes in slavery as he owns one and is asked by the other owners to go on a quest to purchase more slaves for them. Crusoe, bored again, goes on the quest but is ship wrecked and marooned on a desert island.

Robinson Crusoe is the central character around whom the moral lesson centres.
From the beginning, Defoe presents him as an individual endowed with a capability for moral development because of his natural possession of moral sensitivity.
As events open, he appears as lacking a certain degree of moral insight and self knowledge, but gradually he gains moral and spiritual re-awakening and self discovery
