In Chapter 3 of Robinson Crusoe, what situational irony is expressed in Crusoe's ownership of a Brazilian plantation ?

As Robinson Crusoe builds his plantation and begins to see some profit from his enterprise, he perceives a sense of security of the middle class or what his father called the "middle station" of life .The irony is that Crusoe wanted to avoid the path of his father. He rebelled by disappointing his father by leaving home for exploration. Now he is doing the same thing he once dismissed.
