Gulliver
The narrator and protagonist of the story. Although Lemuel Gulliver’s vivid and detailed style of narration makes it clear that he is intelligent and well educated, his perceptions are naïve and gullible. He has virtually no emotional life, or at least no awareness of it, and his comments are strictly factual. Indeed, sometimes his obsession with the facts of navigation, for example, becomes unbearable for us, as his fictional editor, Richard Sympson, makes clear when he explains having had to cut out nearly half of Gulliver’s verbiage. Gulliver never thinks that the absurdities he encounters are funny and never makes the satiric connections between the lands he visits and his own home. Gulliver’s naïveté makes the satire possible, as we pick up on things that Gulliver does not notice.

Lemuel
Gulliver is the star and central
character of Gulliver's Travels.
In fact, he narrates the novel
himself, and he is the only
genuinely developed character
in the whole book. Other
figures in Gulliver's Travels
absolutely fade into the
background. For example,
Gulliver only mentions his
wife, Mary, in passing as he
stays home just long enough
to get her pregnant again
before heading out to the high
seas. Yes, Gulliver is pretty
much it when it comes to
rounded, individual characters
in this novel.
