    A comparision of the “Landscape with the Fall of Icarus” and Gullivers Travels Gulliver sails across the wide expanse of an ocean on a voyage‚ just as Icarus‚ son of Daedalus did on a pair of wax welded wings. Both met their disasters on the waters of their journeys. Gulliver was ignorant and naïve and Icarus proud and arrogant. Both expressed having weakness as only human nature can have.

    Major English Authors 2 2/20/14 Gulliver: The Mock-Hero Throughout Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathon Swift‚ Gulliver continually proves how he is playing the role of a mock-hero. As many of the classic heroes hold traits such as bravery‚ intelligence‚ and leadership‚ Gulliver’s character pokes fun at that classic idea. Many epics consist of great heroes going on treacherous journeys where they come across man-eating beasts or other large feats‚ where as in Gulliver’s Travels‚ he goes on a journey

    In book one of Gulliver’s Travels‚ Swift satirizes power. When Gulliver is with the Lilliputians he is much bigger than they are. Yet they still think they have power over Gulliver. The only way to efficiently satirize the things he satirizes is to have a character that is gullible. That’s who Gulliver is. By using the medium of exaggeration Swift is able to satirize the fact that some people believe they have power over other people who obviously have more power over them. As Swift satirized

Friday gradually leaves his culture to identify himself with Robinson’s culture. Gulliver is instead interested in the variety of worlds and cultures
