Read the following passage from Chapter 16 of *The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe*, in which Crusoe reflects on his relationship to the island and its inhabitants: 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 property, so that I had an undoubted right of dominion. Secondly, my people were perfectly subjected—I was absolutely lord and lawgiver—they all owed their lives to me, and were ready to lay down their lives, if there had been occasion for it, for me. It was remarkable, too, I had but three subjects, and they were of three different religions—my man Friday was a Protestant, his father was a Pagan and a cannibal, and the Spaniard was a Papist. However, I allowed liberty of conscience throughout my dominions. Explain Defoe's point of view on colonialism in the passage. Then analyze how the scene could be interpreted as satire to express that point of view. Be sure to use specific details from the passage in your response.
