It is worth noting that the theme of God's mercy and Providence is central to the novel. Robinson Crusoe frequently reflects on his faith and expresses gratitude for God's protection and guidance. For example, after surviving the shipwreck, he writes:
> "I began to be convinced that I had nothing to expect but to be starved to death, for I could see no likelihood of getting any food, or of any help from any human creature."
>
> "But, on the other hand, I knew I ought not to despair; and, remembering that the Lord had fed the children of Israel with manna in the wilderness, and that he could, if he pleased, supply my wants here, I humbled myself under the sense of my own weakness, and the little knowledge I had of the way to be fed."
You may want to revisit the text of *Robinson Crusoe* to see if you can find a similar sentiment expressed in a slightly different way.
