Gulliver s Travels Subsection Synopsis 45

The first book is about Gulliver's encounter in Lilliputia, where Gulliver has a ratio of twelve to one in size, where the inhabitants are only 6 inches tall, and Gulliver is in it like a "mountain of giants". At first he was tied up by the villains, but later, due to his meekness and promise to accept certain conditions, the Lilliputian king agreed to restore his freedom. At this time, the country was being invaded by another Lilliputian (Blefscu), and Gulliver waded across the Channel to capture most of the ships of the enemy fleet, forcing the enemy to send an envoy to sue for peace.

Despite Gulliver's great achievements, he later offended the king in several things, and the king decided to blind him in both eyes and starve him to death. When Gulliver heard the news, he fled to a neighboring country, repaired a small boat, and set sail home.

The second book describes Gulliver's experiences in the kingdom of adults. In this volume, Gulliver is once again out to sea when he is caught in a storm and the ship is swept to a strange land. This land is called Brobdingnag (Great Adult Country).

The inhabitants are as tall as iron towers. As soon as Gulliver arrived, he suddenly became a dwarf from the "Giant's Mountain", and in the kingdom of adults, he seemed to have become a Lilliput (Lilliputian), and the proportion was reversed, becoming one to twelve. In front of the farmer of the kingdom of adults, Gulliver is the size of a mole and is taken home by the farmer as a plaything.

In order to make money, the farmer took him to the town and let him play tricks for people to see. Later, he was bought by the queen and was able to get along with the king of the kingdom of adults. Gradually, Gulliver's homesickness grew stronger, and during a tour of the border with the king, he pretended to be sick and went to the beach to breathe fresh air.

When he slept in a small wooden box on the shore, a large eagle took the wooden box away. Later, the wooden box fell into the sea and was found by a passing ship, and Gulliver was rescued and finally returned to England.

The third volume is written about the flying island country. This volume is looser and more open, and it is written about Gulliver's travels in Lepita (Flying Island), and also covers the travels of Barni Babi, Ragneg, Grad Cone, and Japan.

Book 4 describes what Gulliver saw and heard in the land of Wise Horses. This is the most controversial part of history. There, Gulliver was banished by the wise and rational Wise Horse, and returned to the land where he was born and raised, but now disgusted him, and spent the rest of his life angrily and helplessly with a gang of "wild beards".

Gulliver is caught by a 20-meter-tall peasant. The peasants took Gulliver to exhibitions in major cities across the country, and finally to the capital. The farmer was so hungry for money that he asked Gulliver to perform 10 times a day, and he was so tired that he was dying.

When the peasant saw that it was unprofitable, he sold Gulliver to the queen. Due to his small size, Gulliver was very favored in the court, but he was often attacked by rats, birds, and other animals.

3. Volume III.

After staying at home for a while, Gulliver went to sea with the "Good Hope". This time, Gulliver's ship is hijacked by a pirate ship, and Gulliver escapes and is rescued by a flying island called "Lepita". These people are strangely looking, strangely dressed, and meditate all day long.

Kings and nobles lived on the islands, while the common people lived on three islands, including Barni Babi.

Thankfully, a wise horse, Hui Chu, came to his rescue.

The author used rich satirical techniques and fictional fantasies to write absurd and bizarre plots, profoundly reflecting the meaningless partisan struggle in the British Parliament at that time, the mediocrity and decadence of the ruling group, and the cruelty and brutality of the colonial war.
