Bro really travelleddddd he was an icon for that for real. Fav island was Laputa bc what do you mean you live on a floating island and if the people below don’t do what you say you just float over there and drop on them. Lilliputia was also silly with those small guys and Brobdingnag had that bitchy king who was also right about how weird England is. Swift was actually a real one for his anti-imperialist critiques in this though, like good for you dude speak for Ireland. Those Houhynhms sure were talking horses and somehow he made that scary. And I love when the main character is defeated and hypocritical, Gulliver is so prideful and falls into every pitfall of colonialism and then ends up hating his own species. Like what a way to end the book.

This will be more clever and entertaining if you have a working knowledge of English politics, government, and the monarchy in the 1700s, as well as England's relationship history with other countries like France, the Netherlands, Ireland (Lindalino symbolizes Dublin, for example, with its spelling using a "double lin"), etc., and wars involving England. Then you'll get the full story of the Irish satirist Jonathan Swift's opinions of it all through his writings and deadpan humor. Otherwise, it just seems like he went on a giant acid trip while writing it. Long-winded but also a classic in satirical writings.

Gulliver is an entitled selfish man who puts his needs over his family and after it all he can barely stand to be in his family presence 🚶🏾♀️➡️
