Yo!
Here's your answer,bud!
When Gulliver first wakes up in Lilliput, he feels a desire to suddenly seize forty or fifty of the tiny Lilliputians and "dash them against the Ground." He doesn't act on this urge because he remembers the sting of their arrows and does not wish to relive the experience. However, his unnecessarily violent wish might, perhaps, shed some light on a point that Swift is trying to make about human nature. Gulliver seems to feel the desire to squash the Lilliputians for no other reason than that he can; are humans naturally disposed to assert our physical superiority and might over those who are weaker than we are? After all, when Gulliver lands in Brobdingnag, he expects to be treated in the same way he considered handling the Lilliputians.
Hope that this is the answer you are looking for.
