My analysis of "Gulliver's Travels" part 1(A voyage to Lilliput)

@@[0:[0:9:Mainly this novel is a satire(as swift is known for)In the letter of captain Gulliver to his cousin sympson we find a technique.It is actually the protection of swift.He tries to show that many of the things which Gulliver likely said is wrongly edited by the publisher.The letter is enough to create suspense in the reader to think it as a real story.The first voyage in comparison with the other voyages is much less harsher as far as the intensity of satire is concerned.Cause most of the satires here are allegorical.The satires are ona particular historical figure.There are not much generalizations of satire on mankind.And another reason is the telescopic view of life.After all Lilliputians are six inches tall,not a monster.So suggestive satire on them is not likely to be much bitter,so fearful to us.But the first voyage is not totally devoid generalization of satire.Gulliver is tempted to crush the people(6inches tall)when they are walking beside him.It is a satire on human instinct and its bitter.Then heroes on to satirize the political internal and external problems.Which refers to the historical allegory of England Of contemporary time.The main point which this first voyage suggests is about our view of life.we human beings have limitation and yet we pride with our litte knowledge,wealth and possession.The universe is vast but yet we show in our vain pride our trust.This is wrong conception of life and all the endeavor of swift is to show this trth to the readier.(the details of historical allegory are intentionally avoided)]]
