Sexual Orientation Fluctuations of the Protagonist Robinson Crusoe

Abstract

The word ‘abro' comes from Greek words that mean ‘exquisite' or ‘subtle'. People whose sexuality fluctuates from time to time are known as abrosexual. Their sexual orientation is fluid, like a river that continuously changes its course. The sexual attraction that an individual feels towards one or more or other gender is referred to as sexual orientation; it also refers to a person's attraction to another person and ranges anywhere from being straight, gay, bisexual and any other orientation. In this study article, the abrosexual orientation of Robinson Crusoe, the main protagonist of all time classic novel 'Robinson Crusoe' will be examined through the Klein Sexual orientation grid. The study is a qualitative study of the novel that finds and examines the relationship of the protagonist's experiences, involvements, relationships, and behaviors throughout the novel to Klein's gender grid of variables. The analysis focuses on key scenes and interactions particularly involving Friday to assess Crusoe's sexual attraction, preferences, and social relationships through the KSOG framework. The purpose of the study is to examine how Crusoe's sexual orientation fluctuated and developed over the course of the novel, as well as how the KSOG variables manifested in the protagonist's experiences and relationships.
