Question

Gulliver’s Voyage to the land of Houhnhnms constitutes the height of corrosive satire on the follies of mankind. Discuss

Answer 1

Answer:

Gulliver’s Travels has established itself as a classic for young people. Its appeal to young minds is due to the fact that it is, on the surface, an adventure story and a fanciful account of strangers and wonderful lands.

It is, on a superficial view, a novel of adventure and a tale of wonder. The young mind is greatly attracted by adventures and by fanciful accounts such as we come across in Arabian Nights’ Entertainment However, it is not enough to describe this book in these terms. It is much more than an adventure story or a fairy tale. On a closer examination it will be found to be a satire, and a bitter one, on mankind in general and on English politics and politician's of the time, in particular. Thus we have to approach this work in two ways: we have to treat it as an adventure story, and we have then to probe it deeper in order to grasp and appreciate its satirical purpose.
