In order to attack the greed, hypocrisy of the people in the "civilized society" and the political corruption and darkness of the time, expose the colonial policy of the British rulers, and praise the spirit of resistance of the working people, it has distinctive democratic ideological characteristics, and is a very ironic **.

Gulliver's Travels is a long travelogue satire written by the English writer Jonathan Swift, first published in 1726.

After leaving Moore Manor, Swift returned to Ireland to continue his work as a priest. For the sake of the church, he threw himself into politics. In the second half of his life, he wrote numerous political pamphlets and gained considerable fame.

Although he was famous for a while, his heart was lonely. He even walked to the brink of despair. He went through everything and saw through everything, so he wrote "Gulliver's Travels".

1.Language: simple and concise, seeking truth from facts, but full of strong storytelling.

2.Artistic Technique: He is good at using satirical chains or techniques to attack all aspects of the political, religious and social life of Britain at that time with spicy strokes (this is the most important point).

3.Plot: The combination of fantasy and authenticity is full of fairy tales and reveals the author's dissatisfaction with society.

Theme of the work: "Gulliver's Travels" has a clear political leaning. Its critical edge focused on attacking parliamentary politics and reactionary religious forces in Britain at the time.

**Through Gulliver's adventures in Lilliput, Brobdingnag (Lord), Lepita (Flying Island) and Wisdom Horse, it reflects some contradictions in British society in the first half of the 18th century, exposing and criticizing the corruption and crime of the British ruling class and the frenzied plundering and cruel exploitation of British capitalism in the period of primitive capitalist accumulation.

The Lilliputian scene depicted in Volume 1 is a microcosm of the British Empire at the time. At that time, the perennial struggle between the Tories and the Whigs in Britain and the foreign war were in essence just politicians intriguing over some irrelevant aspects of the national economy and people's livelihood.

The second volume of the Great People's Republic expresses doubts and denials of the various institutions and political and religious measures of the United Kingdom through the king's sharp attack on the British electoral system, parliamentary system, and various political and religious measures that Gulliver is proud of.

In the third volume, the author points the irony at the English philosophers of the time, the scientists who are detached from reality and indulged in fantasy, the inventors of the absurd, and the critics and historians who turn black and white upside down.

**In the fourth volume, the author uses Gulliver's series of questions to expose the nature of the war, the hypocrisy of the law, and the shameful act of unscrupulous means to obtain the status of duke.
