	Gulliver's Travels - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gulliver's Travels (1726, amended 1735), officially Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World, is a novel by Jonathan Swift that is both a satire on human nature and a parody of the "travellers' tales" literary sub-genre.
		On his first voyage, Gulliver is washed ashore after a shipwreck and awakes to find himself a prisoner of a race of 6 inch (15cm) tall people, inhabitants of the neighbouring and rival countries of Lilliput and Blefuscu.
		Gulliver becomes a member of the horse's household, and comes to both admire and emulate the Houyhnhnms and their lifestyle, rejecting human beings as merely Yahoos endowed with some semblance of reason which they only use to exacerbate and add to the vices Nature gave them.

	Gulliver's Travels
		Gulliver, the reader is told, was a seaman, first in the capacity of a ship's surgeon, then as the captain of several ships.
		Gulliver and the reader are forced to evaluate such behavior from a vantage point outside of man that makes it both shocking and revelatory, (Tuveson, 62).
		When Gulliver experiences the shock of recognition that he, too, is a Yahoo, Gulliver passes from being a "perfect example a character acting in ignorance of his condition" to experiencing "a terrifying insight into evil (which) is accompanied by all the bitterness of a profound disillusionment" (Bullitt, 61, 65).

	Gulliver's Travels Essays
		Jonathan Swift displayed his novel Gulliver's Travels as satire in order to criticize what he perceived to be wrong with England, including its pomposity, the controlling nature of the English government, and the seemingly frivolous behavior of English women.
		"Gulliver's Travels", by Swift, was written to show his readers the weaknesses and corruption of mankind and show what mankind could become - he has exaggerated or ridiculed mankind to expose the imperfections of our society rather than entertaining the reader with a story, which Swift has done very well.
		Gulliver never realizes the absurdities of the adventures he has, and fails to realize that they are actually funny.

	Gulliver's Travels
		It is only when Gulliver is ship-wrecked and awakens on a beach with ‘arms and legs strongly fastened on each side to the ground’, captured by creatures ‘not six inches high’ (p.8) that the reader begins to question the veracity of the account.
		This is, of course, a description of Gulliver’s encounter with the Lilliputians, a race of people no larger than his middle finger.
		Gulliver’s subsequent adventures are far too numerous to describe in detail but highlights include his being rescued by the flying island of Laputa following a pirate attack, meeting the immortal and ancient Struldbruggs and being abandoned in a land where horses (Houyhnhnms) rule over un-civilised human-like creatures (Yahoos).

	Gulliver
		With this position in mind, the comments and ideas that Gulliver inflicts upon those reading about his journeys certainly have their own identity as they coincide with his beliefs and statements on the state of humanity and civilization in particular.
		Overall, Swift gives Gulliver a generally negative and cynical attitude towards the manner in which his current day English counterparts behaved cleverly disguised in the subtext of his encounters with other nations that either contrasted the way they lived, or mirrored unflatteringly his contemporaries lifestyles.
		Gulliver’s Travels was a topical social satire, a work of propaganda, in which Swift wanted to show the consequences of humanity’s refusal to be reasonable.

		Lemuel Gulliver, an ordinary sailor, finds himself shipwrecked on the island of Lilliput, where the people are tiny enough to fit in his hand.

		The lands that Gulliver stumbles upon consisted of people six inches high, 60 feet high, a floating land in the sky with people who thought the world would end when Gulliver came, and finally a land where horses ruled and kept a degenerate version of humans as pets.
