What type of genre is Robinson Crusoe? Is it Satire?

The
genre of "" would best fit into the category of adventure novel.  Perhaps you could
put it into a sub genre of isolation story, but adventure novel would probably be the best fit.
 If you would like a more modern day comparison, I'll go with movies and video games.  Robinson
Crusoe's genre closely mirrors two popular films, both Tom Hanks films surprisingly.  "Cast
Away" is very similar to "Robinson Crusoe" in that the film focuses on Hanks's
character being stranded on an island.  He must learn to survive and live off of the land.
 While Crusoe finds Friday, Hanks is not so fortunate.  He makes a "friend" (the
volleyball Wilson).  At no point would that film be considered , since satire seeks to criticize
real world stuff.  Crusoe and Cast Away are both stories of bravery, heroism, inner strength,
etc.  The second film would be "Captain Phillips."  Again, an adventure story about
bravery, heroism, and inner strength.  For a video game reference, the most current Tomb Raider
game.  That game works well for an adventure story similar to Crusoe's for the same basic
setting similarities.  Shipwreck, island, survival, bad guys trying to kill main character.
