The novel is deeply religious. Crusoe interprets his life through the lens of Providence—the idea that God has a plan for him. The shipwreck is viewed as a punishment, while his survival and eventual rescue are seen as divine mercy.

The early 18th century was a period of significant change and exploration in Europe. Colonialism and maritime trade were on the rise, leading to increased encounters with diverse cultures and lands. Defoe's novel reflects this era's fascination with travel, survival, and the relationship between civilization and nature.
