The king of lilliput Little by little he gets used to their life and even takes part in the war with the neighboring state of Blefuseu. Traditions in Lilliput a). Rope-dancing—Lilliputians are seeking employment in the government, dependent on the skill of rope-dancing. Whoever jumps the highest earns a position in office. b). High Heels Low Heels Two political parties, distinguished one from the other by the high and low heels on their shoes. Tories Whigs c). To Break eggs A strife—Lilliput the neighboring country / Should eggs be broken at the big end or the little end? Religious controversies—Catholics Anglicans Second Voyage---Island of Brobdingnag Gulliver finally escapes Lilliput and returns briefly to England before a second voyage takes him to Brobdingnag. While on shore, Gulliver is captured by giants, each of whom is the size of a water-tower. On the whole, the Brobdingnagians are good-natured creatures, and they treat Gulliver kindly, though they are amused by his tiny size and looked upon him as a plaything. Gulliver Compared with Lilliput, the Brobdingnagians have an enlightened monarch. She often interrogates Gulliver on European affairs. Gulliver abruptly departs Brobdingnag when a giant eagle flies off with him and drops him in the ocean.

Then buckets would be lowered to be filled with food and drink and whatever else they want . The voyage to Laputa is a scathing attack upon science in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and reveals Swift’s contempt and disdain for abstract theory and ideology that is not of practical service to human.
