EzraRobinson never describes himself physically. although he mentions having an extensive beard and mustache. He does list his clothes and traveling gear, which consists of a cap, jacket, and breeches of goat's hide. Around his waist runs a belt, which supports a saw and a hatchet, while another belt is slung over one shoulder and enables him to carry a pouch of powder and another of shot. On his back is a woven basket, he rests a musket on his shoulder, and rigged a goatskin umbrella over his head. His skin is tanned, but not as dark as one would expect.

The character you dislike in Robinson Crusoe?
This is a very subjective question, so everyone will have their own answer. Probably most people would say Robinson Crusoe himself. Why? - Crusoe appears to be racially prejudiced - for example, the way that he relates to Friday, treating him as inferior. - He think of slavery as acceptable and even desirable. One example would be Xury (a young boy whom he treats as his friend - but forces to do all his dirty work). Also, he travels to Africa with the intention of returning with a cargo load of slaves. - Robinson Crusoe seems to exaggerate his "sin" of leaving his parents.
