Robinson Crusoe

"My name is Oliver Queen. After five years on a hellish island, I have come home with only one goal: to save my city. But to do so, I can't be the killer I once was. To honor my friend's memory, I must be someone else. I must be... something else."

—Oliver Queen

Arrow(Season 2 intro)

Whenever I watch this Tv series, Robinson Crusoe comes my mind. Robinson was a son of a man who  was  a  wealthy  merchant  and  always expected him to  become a lawyer. Contrary to his father’s wishes he went on a slave-trading expedition to Africa. The ship was sunk and only he survived. Robinson found himself on an inhabited  island.

Like him, Oliver Queen survived from island after five years. But Robinson had survived after 27 years. It is an effective novel. I liked it first time I read.
