Robinson Crusoe referred to the island as the "Island of Despair" because he initially felt stranded and isolated after surviving a shipwreck. The harsh conditions, lack of companionship, and uncertainty about rescue contributed to his sense of despair. Over time, as he adapted to the island and developed survival skills, his perspective evolved, and he renamed it the "Island of Desolation," reflecting a more resilient and self-reliant mindset.
