The emperor- the ruler of Lilliput. like all Lilliputians, the emperor is fewer than six inches tall. His power and majesty impress Gulliver deeply, but to us he appears both laughable and sinister. Because of his tiny size, his belief that he can control Gulliver seems silly, but his willingness to execute his subjects for minor reasons of politics or honor hives him a frightening aspect. he is proud of possessing the tallest trees and biggest palace in the kingdom, but he is also quite hospitable, spending a fortune on his captive's food.The emperor of Lilliput is both a satire of the autocratic ruler and a strangely serious portrait of Political power
