    One of the first themes shown in Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels was the theme of corruption of government. This theme was portrayed through the actions and personality of the Emperor of Lilliput.

Gulliver first encountered the Emperor’s uninspiring personality when he heard of the one hundred year feud between the Lilliputians and their neighboring island‚ Blefusca. Gulliver was shocked when he discovered this dispute was over

    Gulliver learns little from his travels except hatred for humanity and love for horses. What does the reader learn from Gulliver’s voyages?
