The footprint that Robinson Crusoe finds on the island is a symbol of human companionship and just how much we all desire for others. The footprint brings all kinds of thoughts back to Crusoe that he has not experienced in a very long time since being on the island. For themes it can be said that perseverance or mastery are well used in this book. It is also obvious that the importance of self awareness is a theme in this book because Crusoe stays conscious of himself the whole time and is always aware of what he needs to live. We can use this in our own lives by taking care of our own responsiblities just as Crusoe did on the island. For motifs Crusoe uses lots of numbers and great details on what he does. He is very clear on how large things are and gets down to the very details of these numbers. This use with numbers shows how hands on he was with all parts of his life and took great notice of simple things. It was this type of detailing of the little things that was able to keep him alive on the island. This video outlines the major events of Robinson Crusoe's life.
