The purpose of Satire as a whole in the Gulliver’s Travel
Definition
“Satire is genre of literature, and sometimes graphic, and performing arts, in
which vices, follies abuses , and shortcoming are held up to ridicule , ideally with
the intent of shaming , individuals corporation, and society into improvement
“Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels ”: A social
satire
 “Gulliver’s travels” is a great work of social satire.
 In the First Voyage to Lilliput, Swift Satirizes on Politics and political
tactics Practiced in England through Lilliputians, the dwarfs of six
inches height.
 He Satirizes the manner in Which political offices were awarded by
English king in this time.
 Lilliputians are tine it shows narrowness of mind
 He used Lilliputians as puppets.
Satire in Lilliput
 In Book 1 His ship blown off course and Gulliver is shipwrecked.
 He wakes up flat on his back on the shore , and discovers that he cannot
move , he has been bound to the earth by thousand of tinny crisscrossing
threads.
 He is realized from his prone position only to be confined in ruined temple
by ninety one time but unbreakable chains.
 In this section, Swift introduces us to the essential conflict of book 1.
 The native ordinary compassionate “Everyman” at mercy of an army of
people with “small minds”
Chapter 2
 In this chapter, Gulliver is won over by the fact the Lilliputians are
well-dressed and articulate.
 He is still held captive by these people, both metaphorically. As being
entranced by them , and literally . It is in this chapter that Gulliver
First asks to be freed and refused.
Chapter 3
 Chapter 3 is where it really gets interesting.
 Swift makes a point of telling us that the only people who perform the
rope dance are people seeking to acquire or maintain a high position
at court, so this is actually not a form of “entertainment ” at all ; it’s
a form of political section.
Chapter 4
 Obviously Swift is saying that the argument between the low-Heels is
ridiculous almost as silly as the jihad between the Big-Enders and the
Little-Enders.
 During Swift lifetime, an equally high level of animosity existed
between the various English sects which considered themselves
protestant , and between the English protestant collectively and the
Catholics the continent.
 Swift, an Anglican clergyman himself, is clearly showing how
ridiculous such dissention is among people who all profess to be
followers of the same path.
 But making the political and religious situations of the eighteenth
century seem even more ridiculous then they already were, swift he
was able to make people view their actual life choices more
rationally.
Conclusion
 All are comic satire.
 In upper layer this novel is childish novel but if we observe in deep we
found satire on man kin….
