Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, University of Wuppertal, language: English, abstract: In the following I will analyse, in how far the narrative situation in Robinson Crusoe supports the classification as a spiritual autobiography, on the basis of Franz K. Stanzel's Typological Circle. The narrative situation in Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe is of strident importance, because it has a massive affect on the way how the story is presented. According to Franz K. Stanzel's Typological Circle it can generally be said that the novel has a first-person narrative situation and an internal perspective because the narrator is part of the story.
