Question

Give the character sketch of the emperor of the liliput. mention the special attributes he possessed that set him apart from the common people of liliput

Answer 1

description of emperor:

The king of Brobdingnag foreshadows the Houyhnhnms in Part-IV, in terms of virtue. A wise person with his moral values intact, he employs his officials on the basis of their virtues. Being anti-war and anti-violence, he abhors the concept of war and gunpowder that is capable of only destruction. His dislike for Gullivers country is to such an extent that he calls the English to be the most pernicious race of little odious vermin.

He has strong opinion of his own and does not believe when Gulliver praises his country. Following a rational thought process, he is usually involved in serious discussion with Gulliver. While the emperor of Lilliput is a satire on the English politics, King of Brobdingnag is a commentary on its vices
