圣卢西亚诗人德里克·沃尔科特在诗作《克鲁索的岛》中,将《鲁滨逊漂流记》的主人公鲁滨逊·克鲁索塑造成诗人自己和加勒比民族的代言人。沃尔科特借助克鲁索这一意象,言说自身的真实,表现历史的缺失,文化的焦虑,自我意识的寻求,以及对于文化创造、融合与回归的渴望。 Derek Walcott, the Saint Lucia poet, portrayed Robinson Crusoe, the protagonist of Robinson Crusoe, as the poet himself and the spokesman for the Caribbean nation in his poem “Island of Crusoe.” With his images of Crusoe, Walcott speaks of his own reality, his lack of history, the anxiety of culture and the search for self-awareness, as well as his desire for cultural creation, integration and return.
