22. THANKYOU FOR LISTENING!
ANY QUESTIONS?
Gulliver’s Travels is a satire on four aspects of the man: physical, political,
Intellectual and moral. It is a brilliant parody of travel literature, stupidities and
insufficiency of men and a great comic masterpiece. Some people calls it as
morbid that it shows the mental illness of a writer. They think that this book
was written when the writer was totally going mad. But the fact is that the
satire and comedy of voyages described in this book are indicating the
spiritual good health of Jonathon Swift.
