Gulliver's Travels
Gulliver's Travels - Satire
Gulliver went to four different places: Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa and Houyhnhnm and the book ‘Gulliver’s travels’ is a satire in two ways….
It was first seen as a satire through a fight between Liliput and Blefuscu. In Lillput, the Lilliputians used to break their eggs on the big end but an incident when the grandfather of the present King once cut himself because he broke an egg on the big end changed the law. The Lilliputians, refusing to follow the new law, decided to seek refuge in Blefuscu. Therefore, Lilliput and Blefuscu were no longer at war. This is clearly an example of the unnecessary war between France and England.
Secondly, when Gulliver travelled to Houyhnhnm, there were “people” called the Yahoos. They are actually quite similar to humans, just that they are dirtier and did not wear any clothes on them. This is one of the satires of human behaviour and thus making the horses look more inferior to humans.
