Does Robinson Crusoe change throughout the novel? The tale of Robinson Crusoe was published 298 years ago, it’s no surprise many people have developed their own arguments as to whether Crusoe had evolved over the course of the story or not. Some believe before Crusoe took to the sea, he was an unreligious man who had no respect for God or his Father. Then at the end of his time on the island, Crusoe had been converted into a firm believer of God. There are valid arguments made against this theory that Crusoe had changed, such as the fact he approved and used slaves himself without ever any change of heart. Crusoe’s character goes from unbelieving in God to the complete opposite and this can be contributed to his experiences at sea and on

In the book by R. L. Stevenson, Treasure Island, the character Long John Silver changes in many ways. He changes because of many forces, ranging from greed to peoples actions toward him.

Long John Silver, the antagonist, is the man who changes from sea cook to pirate, and back to sea cook. Although he is the antagonist, he is a fusion of good and bad into one character. Honestly, he is an authoritative and influential leader; therefore, he is able to start and lead a mutiny so that they could find the treasure themselves. His authoritative character is shown several times throughout the novel. The most interesting scene that displays these traits is when the other pirates are afraid to persist in the treasure hunt because of the ghost of Flint. Silver takes charge and brings their spirits back up by refuting the reality and threat of the ghost by stating that it is “a rum start…it’s someone…that’s flesh and blood” (Stevenson 220). Even though he is afraid, his personality allows him to pull his men back together. Without Silver’s authoritative and influential personality, the story of Treasure Island would develop differently and most likely end differently.
