The Eagle is Freedom

In Gulliver's Travels the eagle that kidnaps Gulliver is an allegory 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 restraint's 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 world is your oyster. Decision paralysis can be common in this situation. It can get to a point where you don't do anything at all. this can lead to a very toxic mind set if this happens to you, I recommend doing something spontaneous every once in in a while not something big maybe a trip to the zoo or dinner with friends or family.

When Gulliver is dropped in the ocean this is the point where decision paralysis is Gulliver inter being mean his house is in the ocean what can you do. Gulliver just sits there in a state of constant. Any choice he makes can decide if he lives or dies of course he's scared. But then people find his house drifting along in the sea and he is safe because you are never truly alone.
