Question

how did gulliver get marooned in brobdingnag

Answer 1

Two months after returning to England, Gulliver is restless again. He starts to sail to the Cape of Good Hope and Madagascar by the ship called Adventure, where he encounters a monsoon which draws the ship off the course. The ship hence, eventually arrives at a unknown land mass. Gulliver is taken to the south coast from their, and both he and Glumdalclitch fall ill. H their says that he is in the need of fresh air and a page carries him out to the shore in his travelling-box. H asks to sleep in his hammock, and the boy wanders off. Just then, a eagle grabs hold of the box and flies along with him. He suddenly feels himself falling and lands in the water. He fears of starving and death, when the box is suddenly pulled off, and is said that the box is tied to a ship and a carpenter would come to drill a hole in the top. Gulliver then suggests that they can simply use a pry to open it, but in return he hears laughter. He then suddenly realizes that he is speaking to people who are of his height and climbs a ladder out of his box and onto his ship.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Gulliver is unable to resist the urge for an adventure. As a result, he starts sailing on his next voyage after a short stay in England for two months. Unfortunately, he faces a shipwreck once again that leaves him marooned on the island of Brobdingnag.

This island is an island of giants with everything and everyone around him really huge. Gulliver’s small size makes him the center of attraction. While he enjoys this, he is apprehensive of the fact that just about anything on the island is capable of killing him because of their large size. Gulliver does not want to live there with this fear lurking in him.
