Question

In both “A Voyage to Lilliput” and “A Voyage to Brobdingnag,” Swift satirizes various aspects of the society in which he lives. In a brief essay, explain which excerpt provides a more optimistic picture of English society. Support your response with examples from Gulliver’s Travels.

Answer 1

Lilliput provides a more optimistic picture of english society because when Gulliver explains to the king in Brobdingnag what things are like in england, he either laughs or scoffs at him

Answer 2

The Lilliputians are an example of the ridiculous arguments between the Whigs and Tories of English Parliament. He is pointing out that arguing over unimportant things waste time and allow for the government to loose sight of its objective.
