Itisanadventurenovel, apamphlet,and,atthesametime,anovelwithcertain" rel="nofollow">inanti-utopiancharacteristics. Swift’s imagin" rel="nofollow">ination in" rel="nofollow">in this novel does not have any limit, he created a unique work with the elements of fantasy. While readin" rel="nofollow">ing “Gulliver’s Travels”, readers travel along the book with its main" rel="nofollow">in hero, Gulliver, which theorist of literature often compare with Odysseus. The readers explore the countries he gets to, the traditions and customs, weird characters and mentality of its in" rel="nofollow">inhabitants. His first country appeared to be the Lilliput, where people are very small, almost tin" rel="nofollow">iny. It is worth mentionin" rel="nofollow">ing, that in" rel="nofollow">in this first part of the novel from the very begin" rel="nofollow">innin" rel="nofollow">ing Swift transmits with the tremendous accuracy the feelin" rel="nofollow">ings of lonelin" rel="nofollow">iness, fear in" rel="nofollow">in front of the unknown and in" rel="nofollow">inner enchain" rel="nofollow">inment of the person who for the first time arrives to the other land, to the other country. At the begin" rel="nofollow">innin" rel="nofollow">ing of the story I liked the Lilliputians. They seemed naïve, kin" rel="nofollow">ind and funny. The respect they have shown to Gulliver becomes friendship . As Gulliver is a kin" rel="nofollow">ind, generous, simple and naïve man, he does not even thin" rel="nofollow">ink of some hidden benefit the emperor and his court get from him. Gulliver is always well fed, well dressed and well treated. Indeed, the people seem nice and kin" rel="nofollow">ind, they are calm and live their own quiet life; they respect the government and do not really judge it. While readin" rel="nofollow">ing the begin" rel="nofollow">innin" rel="nofollow">ing of the story the reader do not suspect anythin" rel="nofollow">ing. Thin" rel="nofollow">ings are not likely to change at all. Nevertheless, if you look more attentively, you will notice the faults fast enough to understand this is just a decoration. So what hides behin" rel="nofollow">ind? True in" rel="nofollow">intentions become obvious only in" rel="nofollow">in time of need, in" rel="nofollow">in time of crucial conflict when all the rage comes out and the author makes is very clear. My impressions have changed sin" rel="nofollow">ince the moment I understood what the Lilliputians’ truly in" rel="nofollow">intentions were. First of all, the political conflicts about the size of the hills seem nonsensical and absurd. Moreover, the war with the neighborin" rel="nofollow">ing country because of the eggs seems poin" rel="nofollow">intless as well. Nevertheless, if to thin" rel="nofollow">ink straight, is it not the nature of all the political conflicts? It cannot but repulse me as a reader form the Lilliputians. Johnathan Swift first shows them as greedy, impudent and ruthless people regardin" rel="nofollow">ing their deeds and their thoughts. Gulliver cannot understand the sense of these conflicts, thus he becomes a threat. From the history it is known that any kin" rel="nofollow">ind of force and strength in" rel="nofollow">introduces potential danger for the government just because it is uncontrollable. Despite the fact that Gulliver’s deeds are good, they are turned again" rel="nofollow">inst him. Therefore, it appears the ambitions of Lilliputians are far more enormous than I could suppose. I was disappoin" rel="nofollow">inted when I realized how quickly and pain" rel="nofollow">inlessly the Lilliputians become cruel, judgmental and evil people who in" rel="nofollow">invent the ugly ways to punish Gulliver. The cynic offer of Gulliver’s best friend among the Lilliputians is a real treachery that deeply hurts poor hero. It cannot but remin" rel="nofollow">ind me that human kin" rel="nofollow">ind repeats its history on and on, and Johnathan Swift was clever enough to notice and to reveal it in" rel="nofollow">in “Gulliver’s Travel”.
