Abstract
The major thrust of this research is to examine how the protagonist inCast
Awaystruggles to develop his innate instinct to survive in the midst of
insurmountable challenges. With the theory of intertextuality, the present researcher
finds this issue linked to the major issue of Robinson Crusoe who struggles to survive
on an island.The detriment of this natural process is the resulting subjugation of
particular experiences, objects and groups of people. Noland does his best to adapt to
an uninhabited island. He creates a fictitious man named Wilson and talks to him so
that he can come out of the entrapment of loneliness. Likewise, Crusoe also imposes
the order of civilizing and surviving will on the island which is uninhabited. Both the
characters boldly face the tragic lot of their shipwrecked lives. No matter how
hazardous and terrible their shipwrecked lives, they exercise their latent sense of
survival instinct and come triumphant over each and every hurdle. The miracle arises
from the technique of visual effect and incredible cinematography. Under the guise of
incredible heroism capable of any feat of miracle, the protagonists of both the films
get clued to the notion of humanity.
