The paper discusses how in Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels", the religious war between the Lilliputians and the Blefuscuins
is
symbolic to the war between France and England, and more generally between the Protestants and the Catholics. The paper examines how the King of Brobdingnagia indirectly shows the reader how corrupt English and moreover European
society and government were. It shows too how the relative sizes of the people that Gulliver visits is symbolic to the nature of each represented society.
