Book Review of Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift
Gulliver's trip tells the
story of Lemuel Gulliver, an intelligent Englishman who trained as a marine
surgeon when his business failed. In the account of the first deceased who did
not show signs of self-control or deep emotional reactions, Gulliver relates
what happened to him on this journey.
Gulliver's adventure in
Lilliput begins when he wakes up from the back of his ship to find himself
bound by countless tiny strands and talking to young kidnappers who fear him
but are very protective of their empire. They are not afraid to use violence
against Gulliver, even if their arrows are more than pinpricks.
After living in England with
his wife and family for two months, Gulliver embarks on a next sea voyage,
taking him to the land of giants called Brobdingnag. Next, Gulliver sets sail
and again, after being attacked by the corridors, ends at Laputa, where a
floating island of aristocratic settlers is pressing the lower equator, called
Balnibarbi.
Finally, on his fourth voyage,
Gulliver travels as a ship's captain, but after being confused by his crew and
being locked up for a long time in his kitchen, he arrives in a strange land.
By making people laugh at the
evils and cunning of the people Gulliver encounters in his travels, he hopes
that they will teach the students to do their own bad things and their
unequivocal acceptance of harsh cultures and perhaps change their ways.
