Question

compare and contrast the characteristics of emperor of blefuscu and lilliput

Answer 1

lilliputains:The Lilliputians are about six inches tall. They operate under an emperor with a hierarchy of social positions. They are curious and easily scared of anything different, like Gulliver. They express all the vices of the English and the English court. They scheme, bribe, back stab, and slander each other.

blefuscu:As opposed to the Lilliputian Emperor, who primarily uses Gulliver as a weapon against Blefuscu, the Brobdingnagian King wants Gulliver to teach him English governance in case there's something worth imitating there. Gulliver describes the English monarchy, Parliament, religion, and the judicial system. Upon hearing these descriptions, the Brobdingnagian King answers that he cannot understand how the English avoid bribery, corruption, influence peddling, or hypocrisy, when there are no safeguards against these sins in their government system. In fact, the King concludes, most Englishmen must be "the most pernicious race of little odious vermin that nature ever suffered to crawl upon the surface of the earth"
