Gulivers Travels Part Two :: Free Essays

afterwards only a brief stay with his family, Gulliver returns to the sea as a surgeon. The ship is blown off course by a storm in the Pacific Ocean east of Japan and a shore companionship in an unknown country abandons Gulliver. He finds himself in Brobdingnag where the inhabitants are sixty feet tall. After being captured and exhibited for money by a farmer, Gulliver becomes a prized possession of the princely address. One of the two main story lines in his part is Gullivers many misadventures due to his size menaced by wasps, a frog, birds, a monkey, and a jealous court dwarf. The other thread centers on Gullivers interviews with the King, who questions him about all aspects of the rest of the world. Gulliver recounts these discussions to show the Kings "narrow" understanding but instead proves the Kings judgment to be truly sharp. After hearing the state of affairs in Europe, he concludes we are a "Race of little odious Vermin." Gulliver escapes when an eagl e carries away his box and drops him into the sea where he is rescued by an English ship and returned home.     Some very important themes that the reader may have picked up on can be very helpful. One of these themes is that no matter How small something is, it is not inferior. Gulliver stayed with the Lilliputians for a very long time. The fact that they were only six Inches tall did not mean that he could do anything he wanted around or to them. Another theme that the reader should have got is that no matter how large something is it still has to have a small add together of brains. The giants in the second part were very tall, but nowhere did the book say that they were very smart.     There was a large amount of satire to be observed in this section of the novel.
