4.4.3 Test (CST): Swift and Defoe
Question 2 of 19
Read this excerpt from The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe.
I caused Friday to gather all the skulls, bones, flesh, and
whatever remained, and lay them together in a heap, and
make a great fire upon it, and burn them all to ashes. I
found Friday had still a hankering stomach after some of
the flesh, and was still a cannibal in his nature; but I
showed so much abhorrence at the very thoughts of it, and
at the least appearance of it, that he durst not discover it:
for I had, by some means, let him know that I would kill him
if he offered it.
How does this passage contribute to the overall meaning of the story?
OA. It highlights the theme of a man battling his own flaws.
