Abstract：Robinson Crusoe, written by Daniel Defoe, is regarded as the first realistic novel in the English literature. The novel, in essence, reflects the colonial expansion of western countries. In the novel, the two main characters Robinson and Friday respectively represent the colonizer and the colonized. After saved by Robinson, Friday changes a great deal in such aspects as identity, religious belief, language, and lifestyle. The process of being civilized is also a process of being colonized. Based on some Post- colonialism theories, the paper aims to discuss the colonization imposed on Friday and explore the undertones of Orientalism and Euro-centralism in the text.
The thesis is divided into five chapters. The first chapter introduces Daniel Defoe and his masterpiece Robinson Crusoe. The second chapter is a brief introduction to the theory of Post-colonialism. The third chapter analyzes the process of Friday’s colonization, in other words, how Friday loses his identity, religious belief, language, and lifestyle. The forth chapter explores the purpose of colonization on Friday. The last chapter is the conclusion.
Key words: colonization Friday Daniel Defoe Robinson Crusoe Post-colonialism
摘要：丹尼尔·笛福的《鲁滨逊漂流记》被认为是英国文学史上第一部现实主义小说，小说本质上反映了西方国家的殖民扩张。在小说中，两个主要人物鲁滨逊和星期五分别代表了殖民者和被殖民者的形象。被救之后的星期五在身份，宗教信仰，语言和生活方式上都发生了巨大的变化。星期五被教化的过程同时也是被殖民化的过程。基于后殖民主义的相关理论，这篇论文旨在讨论星期五被殖民化的过程，并探索文本中潜含的东方主义和欧洲中心主义意识。
本文共分五章，第一章介绍作者丹尼尔·笛福和他的代表作《鲁滨逊漂流记》。第二章阐述后殖民主义的相关理论。第三章分析星期五的被殖民化过程，即星期五怎样丧失他的身份，宗教，语言和生活习惯。第四章探究对星期五进行殖民的目的。第五章为结语。
