Also, the presentation of Crusoe¿s superiority by means of the con¬struction of reli¬gious alterity is inconsistent as traces of hybridization within the Chris¬tian creed show. Moreover Crusoe¿s will to establish his Western language usage as superior backfires when Creo¬lization enters the protagonist¿s own discourse, and his self-aggrandizing declaration of being master of his island is subverted by antagonistic elements, which he ¿ unsuccessfully ¿ tries to exclude from the realm of hu¬mankind ¿ by unconvincingly de¬picting their cannibal eating hab¬its. Further, ¿anti- imperialist resistance¿ according to Said becomes obvious within the text when the visual contrast between Crusoe and colonized peoples ¿ one of the markers of alterity ¿ collapses as Friday acquires phenotypical Western traits and Crusoe devel-ops non-Western features. But it is Friday who symbolically resists colonial power most potently. Far from being only the obedient servant desired by his master he stubbornly refuses to speak Eng-lish adequately, thus exposing Crusoe¿s deficiency of authority. But most of all, after years of subjugation, he stages a revolt not only against Crusoe, but ¿ in the name of all colonized peoples ¿ against Western colonists.
