Why Gulliver's Travels is Not Entertaining
There are a lot of things in Gulliver's Travels that are used in comedies: Satire, sarcasm, and a few jokes for good measure. And all of these things are funny, if done right and with the right audience, but Jonathan Swift (the author of Gulliver's Travels) had narrowed in on his intended audience. The satire is of people. They are most commonly poking fun at people's dumb or selfish actions, but Jonathan Swift also made jokes out of real problems. The problems were not big,

The Value of Currency
Money and how we use it changes with the times. From trading items to trading items with no real value but giving them value. Money, as we know it, has no inherent value. The only value is what we assign to it, but as a society, we have no control over what it's worth. We decided that the less money there is the more valuable it becomes. This is why the Spanish dollar used in Mexico became the dominant currency used in the British American colonies for a brief time. The Bank

Control is Everywhere in Gulliver's Travels
Everyone wants control, and this theme is explored in Gulliver's Travels. From the Lilliputians to the Brobdingnagians, even the Laputans, every one of them are trying to gain and/or exert control in their own way. The human desire for control is both understandable and weird. The Lilliputians try to take control by force, not understanding that Gulliver can kill them all easily, but their world view is too narrow-minded to understand that. When Gulliver tells them where he c

The Original Intentions for the United States
The original intention for the United States was for all the states to be in one big alliance, not a nation. Every state, from 1777-1789, under the Articles of Confederation, was to send two to seven representatives, then those representatives go meet up with all the other representatives and discuss. They would say the states should do this or stop doing that, but they had no real power. The only thing that the alliance, as an institution, had control over was defense and co

French and British impact on America
We all know the French sided with America in the Revolutionary War, but they had affected us in more ways than that. They had a big impact on the political side of America before the war. America saw that the French didn't like the English, and America didn't like the English, so there was a bit of good will there. And the French treated America better than the English, so they were going to tag team the British for a while. The British passing the Sugar Act made America thin

The Harm in a Bad Idea with Good Intentions
In Jonathan Swift's 𝘎𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳'𝘴 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘴, the Lagado upper class have no real idea about how the world works. They know about stuff in theory, but they have no idea how it functions in practice. All of their ideas have no weight in the real world; they only work in their heads. They try to make clothes that, according to mathematics, will be the best clothes in all the land, but a blind old tailor who has been retired for 40 years can do a better job. They lack

How Power is Used
Power is a funny concept; everyone wants it, but you can never truly have it. Power comes in many forms, and those forms can change. Most people don't even know how to use power when they have it. But throughout history, some people learned how to use it and, what do you know, almost all of those people are some form of political force: Kings who use their kids as pawns in a chess game and secretly kill the kids who have a shot at the throne, Parliament getting rid of kings t

The Eagle is Freedom
In Gulliver's Travels , the eagle that kidnaps Gulliver is an allegory of freedom. The eagle comes from nowhere and takes Gulliver away and tries to eat him, but the eagle then drops Gulliver in the ocean. Freedom can come from nowhere and release you from the restraints that bind you. Some people don't even realize what happened for a while. But having all this sudden freedom can be shocking, not knowing what to do. That can be a very harrowing experience, realizing that the
