Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" Book IV: Reason And Value
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Eighteenth century philosophy especially tended to pride itself on having developed to the highest degree the renaissance faith in reason as the distinctive quality of man. Author Jonathan Swift's attitude to his era's view of reason as the sole criterion of value is what ultimately transpired in Book IV of "Gulliver's Travels." That Gulliver had had an interesting – albeit at times strange – journey thus far in the tale did not prepare him for the discovery of his true self, an image he had not only loathed in himself but had previously condemned in others. No additional sources cited.

Jonathan Swift’s “Gulliver’s Travels”
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) and his most famous work, “Gulliver’s Travels.” It is the many distortions -- size, attitude, beliefs, actions -- that serve as the greatest insight into Swift’s story and the realm in which he presents the most thought-provoking of contrasts. For example, the differences that exist in the size of the Lilliputians, the Brobdingnag, and Gulliver all have a relevant significance to the larger (pun intended) story. No secondary sources.

Jonathan Swift’s “Gulliver’s Travels”: A Political Expose
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page contention that “Gulliver’s Travels”, a work which on the surface is a fictional tale of giants and dwarfs, contains a deep societal message. In Part I of “Gulliver’s Travels” (“A Voyage to Lilliput”) Gulliver sets a stage of humility and then follows up on that stage in Part II (“A Voyage to Brobdingnag”) with a political expose of what is really England between 1667 and 1745 (the span of Swift’s lifetime), one of the most turbulent time in English history. Swift’s intent in “Gulliver’s Travels”, therefore, is much more than providing an enjoyable work of fiction. “Gulliver’s Travels” is a recognition and, in fact, a protest of the imperialistic tendency to control a people. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Jonathan Swift/"Verses on the Death of Dr. Swift"
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page essay that analyzes Jonathan Swift's poetic commentary on his own death. Swift (1667-1745) is one of the greatest satirists of all time. His wit and critical viewpoint of society did not exclude himself as a topic. In his poem "Verses on the Death of Dr. Swift," he addresses how he imagines his own decline, death and the response of his so-called friends and public. The underlying theme in this poem is that profuse shows of concern and compassion serve to cover the basic self-interest of the individual, who is enormously glad that the sufferer is not himself. Likewise, Swift lampoons his own reactions to the success of others. Examination of this work shows how Swift uses the symbol of pride to point out the follies inherent in human behavior. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Jonathan Swift/A Modest Proposal
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that analyzes the irony in Swift's famous essay. In his famous satire, "A Modest Proposal," Jonathan Swift carries a metaphor to its most extreme, if logical, conclusion. At the time, i.e., the early 1700s, British rule over Ireland a causing widespread poverty and starvation conditions. Swift's satirical stance is that since British landlords "have devoured most of the parents," it seems clear to him that they "have the best title to the children" (Swift 1642). In other words, as the British were, metaphorically, "eating" the Irish alive with their absentee landlord policies, they might as well literal eat their babies. As this indicates, Swift's main tool in writing this social protest against British rule is extreme irony. No additional sources cited.

Jonathan Swift/Gulliver's Voyage to Lilliput
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page essay that discusses Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, which was published in 1727, a tumultuous time both in European history. By cloaking his political satire in the guise of fiction, specifically the imaginary and fantastic voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, Swift was able to provide a merciless lampoon of the foibles of government and human society in general. The writer compares incidents from Book I to contemporary society. No additional sources cited.
