Fullplot:

Englishman Robinson Crusoe, stranded alone on an island for years, is overjoyed to find a fellow man, a black islander whom he names Friday. But Crusoe cannot overcome the shackles of his own heritage and upbringing and is incapable of seeing Friday as anything other than a savage who needs Crusoe's brand of cultural and religious enlightenment. Friday attempts to share his own more generous and unashamed culture, but ultimately realizes that Crusoe can never see him as anything but an inferior being. With that awareness, Friday sets out to turn the tables on Crusoe.

Comments:

Temporibus laborum minus pariatur laborum accusamus facere quasi ut. Quis molestias dicta maiores dolorem maiores. Iusto eveniet adipisci autem. Incidunt nihil nobis corrupti consequatur.
