	Gulliver's Travels
		Gulliver, awakened by the movement of the box, surmises that the eagle plans to drop the box on rocks, as it would a turtle, to smash it and eat the contents.
		After requesting to leave the island, Gulliver is lowered to the continent of Balnibari and enters its metropolis, Lagado, where the crops are poorly managed, people wear ragged clothing, and the houses are in bad condition—except for the house of the governor of Lagado.
		Gulliver's host then leads him into a courtyard in which several Yahoos—tied to a beam at their necks—are feeding on the the flesh of dead dogs, asses, and cows.

	Free Essay Gulliver's Travels - Satire in Lilliput
		The Emperor decrees that every morning Gulliver is to be delivered "six beeves, forty sheep, and other victuals," along with as much bread and wine as he needs, his basic needs are to be attended to, and six scholars are to teach Gulliver the language of his new compatriots.
		Gulliver remarks that it would seem that noble birth or a fine educational background would seem to be better predictors of one's ability to govern than dancing on a rope, but the Lilliputians find no sense in that.
		Gulliver delights the Emperor by inventing some new forms of entertainment, also; one involves making the calvary perform military maneuvers on the drum-taut surface of his handkerchief, stretched above the ground, but when a rider is thrown, Gulliver stops the game.

	Full text and plot summary of Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift
		Published in his sixtieth year, Gulliver’s Travels is the most famous example of Jonathan Swift’s satirical works and was the only one he received payment for (£200) since most of his works were vehemently and dangerously political, and were published anonymously or under one of his many pen-names.
		Lemuel Gulliver, a ship’s surgeon, tells the story of his shipwreck on the island of Lilliput.
		On his ‘travels’, Gulliver meets various other strange humanoids: the extremely tall people of Brobdingnag and later the useless scientists and philosophers of Laputa and Lagado who spend their time trying to extract sunshine from cucumbers while failing to do anything worthwhile.

		Gulliver’s Travels is a work of satire, a genre of literature that simultaneously creates humor and critiques its society.
		Gulliver’s Travels offers a combination of Direct and Indirect satire forms, but Swift is one of the most famous English practitioners of Juvenalian satire in terms of his tone.
		We learn that Gulliver is very good at recording details such as foreign customs, measurements and vocabulary, but very poor at putting this information into any useful perspective.

	SparkNotes: Gulliver’s Travels: Plot Overview
		Gulliver’s adventure in Lilliput begins when he wakes after his shipwreck to find himself bound by innumerable tiny threads and addressed by tiny captors who are in awe of him but fiercely protective of their kingdom.
		Gulliver is often repulsed by the physicality of the Brobdingnagians, whose ordinary flaws are many times magnified by their huge size.
		Gulliver then concludes his narrative with a claim that the lands he has visited belong by rights to England, as her colonies, even though he questions the whole idea of colonialism.

	Jonathan Swift Gulliver Travels by Lindsey Hurd --
		Thus began the first of four strange adventures, in which Gulliver first encountered a race of people not even six inches tall, men nigh a hundred feet tall, a people curiously engrossed by geometry and scientific progress of questionable practicality and, finally, a country in which horses were rational beings and men irrational.
		Gulliver’s humiliations multiply, for he is forced to accept the role of animal and pet in Brobdingnag.
		Gulliver’s fourth and last voyage casts him upon the island of the Houyhnhnms where he is almost slain by some vulgar and grotesque creatures, later identified as Yahoos, before two Houyhnhnms arrive to save him.

	Literary Criticism (1400-1800) \| Swift, Jonathan: Gulliver's Travels \| INTRODUCTION
		Gulliver is referred to as the "Man-Mountain" by the Lilliputians and is eventually pressed into service by the King in a nonsensical war with the neighboring island of Blefuscu.
		Gulliver's comparatively tiny size now makes him wholly dependent on the protection and solicitude of others, and he is imperiled by dangerous encounters with huge rats and a curious toddler.
		In general, Gulliver is now considered a flexible persona manipulated by Swift to present a diversity of views or satirical situations and to indicate the complexity, the ultimate indefinability, of human nature.

	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.
		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).
		The analysis concludes that in contrast to this situation, Gulliver’s voyage to Brobdingnag and the land of the Houyhnhnms see him take up the role of weak Englishman, a foil to the idealised world of classical values he inhabits.

	GULLIVER'S TRAVELS
		Because the Hollywood version insists on idealizing Gulliver as an unjustly persecuted wise man who knows the truth, we can only understand the satire when Gulliver really is smarter than the people around him.
		The most famous line in Gulliver's Travels is actually uttered by the Queen of Brobdingnag, who says "It is plain that the English are the most odious race of vermin on earth." But this line is also funny.
		Gulliver is an average man, except that he has become irrational in his regard for reason.

	Gulliver's Travels Into Several Remote Nations of the World - Preface
		Lemuel Gulliver, is my ancient and intimate friend; there is likewise some relation between us on the mother's side.
		Gulliver growing weary of the concourse of curious people coming to him at his house in Redriff, made a small purchase of land, with a convenient house, near Newark, in Nottinghamshire, his native country; where he now lives retired, yet in good esteem among his neighbours.
		Gulliver was born in Nottinghamshire, where his father dwelt, yet I have heard him say his family came from Oxfordshire; to confirm which, I have observed in the churchyard at Banbury in that county, several tombs and monuments of the Gullivers.

		Lemuel Gulliver's journeys take him to Lilliput, a country whose inhabitants are no more than six inches tall; to Brobdingnag, a land of giants; to Laputa, a flying island inhabited by absent-minded people; and to the land of Houyhnhnms, where horselike creatures rule with intelligence and courtesy over repulsive humanlike Yahoos.

		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.
		Gulliver becomes increasingly dismayed with humanity as the book continues, until he can no longer tolerate the touch of his own wife, so disgusted he is by what it means to be human.
