Summary

Gulliver’s Travels is a first-person narrative that is told from the point of view of Lemuel Gulliver, a
surgeon and sea captain who visits remote regions of the world, and it describes four adventures. In
the first one, Gulliver is the only survivor of a shipwreck, and he swims to Lilliput, where he is tied up
by people who are less than 6 inches (15 cm) tall. He is then taken to the capital city and eventually
released. The Lilliputians’ small size mirrors their small-mindedness. They indulge in ridiculous
customs and petty debates. Political affiliations, for example, are divided between men who wear
high-heeled shoes (symbolic of the English Tories) and those who wear low ones (representing the
English Whigs), and court positions are filled by those who are best at rope dancing. Gulliver is asked
to help defend Lilliput against the empire of Blefuscu, with which Lilliput is at war over which end of
an egg should be broken, this being a matter of religious doctrine. Gulliver captures Blefuscu’s naval
fleet, thus preventing an invasion, but declines to assist the emperor of Lilliput in conquering
Blefuscu. Later Gulliver extinguishes a fire in the royal palace by urinating on it. Eventually he falls
out of favour and is sentenced to be blinded and starved. He flees to Blefuscu, where he finds a
normal-size boat and is thus able to return to England.

Gulliver in Brobdingnag

Gulliver’s second voyage takes him to Brobdingnag, inhabited by a race of giants. A farm worker
finds Gulliver and delivers him to the farm owner. The farmer begins exhibiting Gulliver for money,
and the farmer’s young daughter, Glumdalclitch, takes care of him. One day the queen orders the
farmer to bring Gulliver to her, and she purchases Gulliver. He becomes a favourite at court, though
the king reacts with contempt when Gulliver recounts the splendid achievements of his own
civilization. The king responds to Gulliver’s description of the government and history of England by
concluding that the English must be a race of “odious vermin.” Gulliver offers to make gunpowder
and cannon for the king, but the king is horrified by the thought of such weaponry. Eventually
Gulliver is picked up by an eagle and then rescued at sea by people of his own size.

On Gulliver’s third voyage he is set adrift by pirates and eventually ends up on the flying island of
Laputa. The people of Laputa all have one eye pointing inward and the other upward, and they are
so lost in thought that they must be reminded to pay attention to the world around them. Though
they are greatly concerned with mathematics and with music, they have no practical applications for
their learning. Laputa is the home of the king of Balnibarbri, the continent below it. Gulliver is
permitted to leave the island and visit Lagado, the capital city of Balnibarbri. He finds the farm fields
in ruin and the people living in apparent squalor. Gulliver’s host explains that the inhabitants follow
the prescriptions of a learned academy in the city, where the scientists undertake such wholly
impractical projects as extracting sunbeams from cucumbers. Later Gulliver visits Glubbdubdrib, the
island of sorcerers, and there he speaks with great men of the past and learns from them the lies of
history. In the kingdom of Luggnagg he meets the struldbrugs, who are immortal but age as though
they were mortal and are thus miserable. From Luggnagg he is able to sail to Japan and thence back
to England.

Gulliver in the kingdom of the Houyhnhnms

In the fourth part, Gulliver visits the land of the Houyhnhnms, a race of intelligent horses who are
cleaner and more rational, communal, and benevolent (they have, most tellingly, no words for
deception or evil) than the brutish, filthy, greedy, and degenerate humanoid race called Yahoos,
some of whom they have tamed—an ironic twist on the human-beast relationship. The Houyhnhnms
are very curious about Gulliver, who seems to be both a Yahoo and civilized, but, after Gulliver
describes his country and its history to the master Houyhnhnm, the Houyhnhnm concludes that the
people of England are not more reasonable than the Yahoos. At last it is decided that Gulliver must
leave the Houyhnhnms. Gulliver then returns to England, so disgusted with humanity that he avoids
his family and buys horses and converses with them instead.
