The Moral and Importance of "Gulliver's Travels"

Book Summary by: AcaDemon    


This paper looks at how people can sometimes become so arrogant that they do not bother to look at the world around them
and how society always has been and always will be full of corruption, pollution, and dishonesty. It attempts to show that it is for these reasons that Jonathan Swift wrote "Gulliver's Travels". It also examines how it is divided into four different journeys, each expressing a concern of Swift's. It is apparent that Part IV is the most important of all the journeys and that the importance of a journey increases as the book progresses. It shows how each part has a moral and how the moral of Part IV is vital to understanding the novel. It concludes that, by analyzing and comparing each section, one can draw the conclusion that reform begins with an individual.
