Literary theory and crticism
Aristotle's theory of imitation argues that poetry imitates nature, with the poet imitating actions that people might perform. For Aristotle, imitation is an act of art, with poetry being the highest form of imitative art as it imitates nature's creative force. Unlike Plato, who saw poetry as an imitation of reality, Aristotle believed poetry was twice removed from reality through the poet imitating human actions.

The document analyzes this part of the novel, focusing on how it exaggerates a one-sided negative view of mankind through Gulliver's experiences among the yahoos and Houyhnhnms and condemnation of human occupations like medicine.
