Gulliver’s Travels :- Comparison between I & IV Voyages
My first Education Presentation in Gulliver's Travels
Gulliver's Travels, whose full title is Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships, (1726, amended 1735), is a prose satire[1][2] by Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, that is both a satire on human nature and the "travellers' tales" literary subgenre. It is Swift's best known full-length work, and a classic of English literature. He himself claimed that he wrote Gulliver's Travels "to vex the world rather than divert it".
The book became popular as soon as it was published. John Gay wrote in a 1726 letter to Swift that "It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery." It was once compared in terms of book sales with Love in Excess.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

10. Jonathan Swift
Gulliver’s Travels is a parody of the genre of “travel narrative”
During the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, these tales of
voyages of exploration and colonial adventure were extremely
popular:
Christopher Columbus
Amerigo Vespucci (for whom “America” is named)
Sir Walter Raleigh
Captain John Smith
More’s Utopia also parodies the genre, and Shakespeare’s The Tempest
invokes the genre
Travel narratives are often sometimes “utopian”—Book IV of Gulliver’s
Travels also parodies More’s Utopia
11. Jonathan Swift
Lemuel Gulliver’s four voyages can be seen as a satirical exploration of
the human condition: What does it mean to be a human being?
The name “Gulliver” may suggest that he is “gullible”
Gulliver’s first voyage, to Lilliput:
Gulliver encounters a land of tiny people. According to Stuart Sherman,
editor of the Longman Anthology of British Literature Vol. 1c:
The diminutive citizens of Lilliput represent human small-mindedness
and petty ambitions. Filled with self-importance, they Lilliputians are
cruel, treacherous, malicious and destructive.
(Longman Anthology, p. 2531)
12. Jonathan Swift
Gulliver’s second voyage, to Brobdingnag, a land of giants:
In Brobdingnag Gulliver is reduced to the size of a Lilliputian.
According to Stuart Sherman:
He is humbled by his own helplessness and, finding the huge bodies
of the Brobdingnagians grotesque, he realizes how repulsive the
Lilliputians must have found him. When Gulliver gives the wise king
of Brobdingnag an account of the political affairs of England—which
manifest hypocrisy, avarice and hatred—the enlightened monarch
concludes that most of the country’s inhabitants must be “the most
pernicious race of little odious vermin that Nature ever suffered to
crawl upon the face of the Earth.”
(Longman Anthology, p. 2531)
13. Jonathan Swift
Sherman concludes:
Throughout Gulliver’s Travels that which is admirable is held up to
expose corruption in the reader’s world, and that which is deplorable
is identified with the institutions and practices of contemporary
Europe, particularly Britain.
...
With brilliantly modulated ironic self-awareness, Swift’s painful
comedy of exposure to the truth of human frailty demonstrates that
there is no room for the distortions of human pride in a world where
our practices are so evidently at variance with our principles. Swift
advances no program of social reform, but provokes a new
recognition—literally, a re-thinking—of our own humanity.
(Longman Anthology, p. 2531)
