Question
One essay compares this character and his creator to two ships who “pass close enough to hail” but are “too busy even to wave.” The protagonist of a novel is bewildered by this character’s insistence on killing harmless apes and making clothes from their skin. In a novel, this character claims laws exist only “to hold us in check when our desires grow immoderate” and frustrates a woman with his insistence on building terraces when there is nothing to plant. This character and his creator are the subjects of the Nobel lecture “He and His Man.” After this character dies from a fever, his female companion asks his real-life creator to write about him, but he refuses because it is too boring. In a 1986 novel, this character and his servant meet Susan Barton after she washes up on their island. For 10 points, J. M. Coetzee’s novel Foe retells the story of what shipwrecked sailor created by Daniel Defoe? ■END■
