Is Robinson Crusoe a middle class hero?

Yes,is a
solidly, and even supremely, middle-class character. In England, Crusoe's land of birth, and in
fact throughout Europe there were three classes of people: the hereditary aristocracy, the
middle class (which up until the 18th century was very small), and the vast bulk of people, who
were poor. The members of the hereditary aristocracy were set apart by not having to work for a
living; they lived on inherited wealth and the rents paid by those farming on their vast
estates. The aristocrats were also, because they did not work for a living, called the leisure
class.

Anyone who was not born to the aristocracy but made
enough...
