Answer:

Why do you think Gulliver calls the little people courageous?

Anglo-Irish author(1667€“1745) has long been

famous for his clever . In Gullivers Travels, Swift

not only tells a fantastical and entertaining tale of imaginary places and people but also pokes

fun at theof travel stories as well as human nature itself.

You can find the

answer to your question, Why do you think Gulliver called the little people courageous? in the

first chapter (within Part 1) of Gullivers Travels, which is entitled A

Voyage to Lilliput. I will provide a little background to help you. As the chapter opens,

Gulliver, who narrates the story, describes his background and how he comes to be at sea. He

tells us that he survives a shipwreck, makes his way to shore, and falls asleep on soft, short

grass.

Upon awakening, Gulliver finds himself tied up by human creatures

not six inches high, the Lilliputians. As he interacts with these little people, two unspoken

rules come into play. The first is an implied sense of honour in how he does not react to the

Lilliputians in a violent way, though he could easily harm them through his great advantage in

size. The second unspoken rule is that of hospitality, which becomes evident in how generously

the Lilliputians respond to his need for food.

Gulliver admits that the idea

of crushing a hoard of Lilliputians does cross his mind, but explains that he wishes to respect

the sense of trust that the little people place in him. He describes how impressed he is with

the courage of the Lilliputians in the following sentence

However, in my thoughts, I could not sufficiently wonder at the intrepidity of these

diminutive mortals, who durst venture to mount and walk upon my body while one of my hands was

at liberty without trembling at the very sight of so prodigious a creature as I must appear
