My island was now peopled, and I thought myself very
rich in subjects; and it was a merry reflection, which I frequently made, how
like a king I looked. First of all, the whole country was my own mere property,
Baso that I had an undoubted right of dominion. Secondly, my people were
perfectly subjected. I was absolute lord and lawgiver, they all owed their
lives to me, and were ready to lay down their lives, if there had been occasion
of it, for me.”
I am not sure whether he was a king or not, but
there is a subject which I am sure, he was a king of boasting. He labelled
everything with “my”, it is annoying, I think. It is kind of selfish because he
never thought the other living creatures. I think that he called Friday without
asking also shows us that.
What kind of a person could think in that way? I
think it is too much even for a person who were injured psycohologically. Seeing
himself as a lord or lawgiver could not explain his way of thinking for me.
