  1. * Gulliver’s Travels Analysis http://www.shmoop.com/gullivers-travels/symbolism-imagery.html

  2. * * * setting • the setting itself is part of the satire

  3. * * * tone • Ironic, Defensive • Gulliver is an active narrator, he often talks directly to us, the readers. When he does, he usually wants forgiveness for something or other

  4. * * * genre • Adventure, Satire and Parody • Is both a parody of popular travel narratives and as a satire of contemporary England and mankind in general

  5. * * * point of view • First Person (Central Narrator) • Gulliver is the only character who doesn't appear completely flat

  6. * * * symbol • there's nearly anything in the book that isn't a symbol, because it is written for the purpose of critiquing contemporary philosophies and customs. • Nearly every person in this book stands either for a historical figure or for an idea. • Even in dialogue, men like the Brobdingnagian King sound less like individuals and more like mouthpieces for different perspectives on morality and governance
