Q1. How does Gulliver gradually win over the emperor, his retinue of followers,..
Ans:- Gulliver gradually wins over the emperor, his retinue of followers, the army and the common man alike by showing his gentleness and good behaviours to them. He always tries his best to abide by the rules and regulations of the country
Some examples from the text would support it As Gulliver says, " I took all possible methods to cultivate this favourable disposition The natives came, by degrees, to be less apprehensive of any danger from me I would sometimes lie down, and let five or six of them dance on my hand, and at last the boys and girls would venture to come and play at hide-and-seek in my hair"
As you can see in the above example that how Gulliver is trying to make his impression favourable in the heart of Lilliputians, the emperor and the court
Q2. Some entertaining diversions and games are mentioned in this chapter...
Ans:- Really some entertaining diversions and games which are mentioned in the chapter are adventurous and admirable because all these diversions and games need a trained player. This shows that the people of Lilliput were really excellent in using his mind and hand. One more thing that we have noticed that these all are practised by those persons who are candidates for great employment, and high favour at court
By these all, the emperor also wants to conceive that whether any of his minister and officers have not lost their faculty (any of his physical and mental abilities) This shows that the emperor is really serious about the artistic and adventurous skills of his men in order to remain superior in their subcontinent
Q3. In the last article for Gulliver's recovery, the emperor stipulates to allow him a quantity of meat and drink, sufficient for the support of 1724 Lilliputians. What does it convey to you about the emperor and the people of Lilliput? Discuss.
Ans:- In the last article for Gulliver's recovery, the emperor stipulates to allow him a quantity of meat and drink, sufficient for the support of 1724 Lilliputians First of all, while reading such information, I was stuck that how these tiny people calculated that the victuals allowed for Gulliver are sufficient for the support of 1724 Lilliputians And when I become aware of his method of calculating this I was astonished that how Lilliputians were good in mathematics The people of Lilliput have possessed the quality of performing their works exactly and very accurately
On the other hand, the emperor proved himself that he is an eagle-eyed emperor who never wants that anything concerning Gulliver goes wrong either it is the matter of Gulliver's victuals or his safety. That is why everything is being calculated very perfectly and arrangements are being made in advance
Q4. Describe Gulliver's lie on the island of Lilliput?
Ans: As far I have gone through the chapter the Gulliver's lie is made somewhat distinct by the several visits of the emperor. The emperor in this chapter makes some diversions arranged in order to entertain Gulliver. Gulliver also arranged some diversions for the emperor in which His Majesty's troops performed. At the end of the diversions, the emperor was much entertained and appreciated Gulliver's contributions. These all things made some favours for Gulliver and he was set free under certain conditions. So, we can say that in this chapter a great promotion is seen in Gulliver's lie on an island of Lilliput
Q5. Describe the diversions provided by the emperor of Lilliput to entertain Gulliver
Ans: Several diversions were provided by the emperor of Lilliput to entertain Gulliver. In one of the diversions, the rope-dancers, performed upon a slender white thread, extended about two feet, and twelve inches from the ground. This diversion is only practised by those persons who are candidates for great employment, and high favour at court. They are trained in this art from their youth and are not always of noble birth, or liberal education.
Flimnap, the treasurer, is allowed to cut a dangerous activity on the straight rope, at least an inch higher than any other lord in the whole empire.
There is a likewise another diversion, which is only shown before the emperor and empress, and first minister, upon particular occasions. The emperor lays on table three fine silken threads of six inches long; one is blue, the other red, and the third green These threads are proposed as prizes for those persons whom the emperor has a mind to distinguish by a peculiar mark of his favour. In this diversion, the emperor holds the stick, sometimes creep under it, backwards and forward, several times, according to as the stick is advanced or depressed Sometimes the emperor holds one end of the stick, and his first minister the other; sometimes the minister has it entirely to himself Whoever performs his part with most quickly and holds out the longest in leaping and creeping, is rewarded with the blue coloured silk and so on
