● Four journeys of Lamuel Gulliver’s life:
(1) First journey of Lamuel Gulliver ‘life:
Gulliver was the third of five sons and went to Emmanuel college in Cambridge. He became an apprentice, to Mr Bates with whom he worked for four years. However, Gulliver loved to travel. His reason for studying medicine was because it would be useful when he undertook long voyages. He married and settled down to family life, occasionally going on long voyages as the ship’s physician one of his voyages was upon the south sea in a ship called the Antelope . A violent storm drove them to the north-west of Van Diemen's Land , dashing the ship against the rocks causing most of his shipments to perish. Gulliver was washed ashore by the stormy waves and fell asleep exhausted. When he work up he found that his arms , legs hair had been tied down. There was a confused noise all round and he found many creatures resembling humans, of about six inches in h5 surrounding him. His loud shout frightened them and he could not understand their language They shot little arrows at him ev5 as he struggled to free himself. He convinced them that he was a peace loving man. When he indicated to them that he was hungry, several ladders were placed at his side and they fed him great quantity of meat ,and barrels of wine, all in miniature sizes. A messenger from the king spoke to Gulliver and said he had to be a prisoner and would be treated well .The carpenters and engineers among them worked tirelessly to produce the greatest carriage possible which could transport Gulliver. Gulliver was taken I the vehicle to a an ancient temple, the largest in the kingdom which could house him. To transport Gulliver in the carriage, it required five hundred engineers, nine hundred workers, fifteen hundred horses and five hundred guards.
The countryside looked like a garden with small fields, flowerbeds and woods ,and the town seemed a painted picture to Gulliver. At the order of the Emperor who taller than his subjects by almost the ‘ breadth of Gulliver’s nail’, enormous qualities of food and drink, by Lilliputians standards, were supplied to Gulliver. The European personally supervised its dispensation. The council of ministers and the European did consider starving or poisoning him but surmised that the huge rotting carcass would have caused a plague . Gulliver had been kind to several things who tormented him and did not give them any punishment except scaring them away. His magnanimity found favour with the king who decided to treat him well. More comforts were ordered for Gulliver, more persons were deputed to look after his needs and he was also taught their language. Gulliver’s pockets were searched and the contents listed. Although the Lilliputians did not know the value or use of these items, they were away to be returned to him at a later date. 3 remained his spectacle and a pocket perspective in pravate pocket. Gulliver’s gentleness and tolerance won the goodwill of the European, court and the army. Even people began to fear him less and were at ease in his company.Gulliver wanted his liberty and tried to win the friendship of the natives as he had learnt their language as well. He was entertained by the Emperor with several of the country shows, the most notable being that of the rope- dancers. Very often the ministers were also expected to undergo a trial of dexterity with sticks held by the Emperor over which they had to jump. They were apparently rewarded with coloured silken threads, each colour denoting a particular status. Gulliver’s petitions of liberty were acceded to by the king's court. He had to fulfil certain conditions prescribed by their laws which he agreed to and his chains were unlocked. Gulliver’s request to see Mildendo, the metropolis, was granted. Gulliver’s help to defend the Europeror and state was sought and he readily agreed even though he did not want to interfere in the internal affairs of the country.
● Second journey of Gulliver’s life:
After two months after his return his country. In the second journey of Gulliver want to Brobdingnag, which is a land of Giant and he is as small as the Lilliputians were to him. So, naturally Gulliver is scared but his keepers are surprisingly gentle. He gets humiliated by the king when he forced to see the difference between how England is and how it ought to be. Gulliver soon understands that he must have been very revolting to the Lilliputians.
● Third journey of Gulliver’s life:
Gulliver was filled with wonder at the Laputians who were rather strange in their shapes, habits and countenances. The floating island of about ten thousand acres depended on a huge loadstone to lift up and bring it down and move from one place to another. Since Gulliver was not well – versed in mathematics or music in which the knowledge of the Laputian was superior , he was held in contempt and Was ignored. Gulliver interacted only with common people such as women, tradesmen, flippers, and court pages. Gulliver was to go to Lagado . Gulliver visited the Academy of projectors where scientists were involved in conducting various experiments which included excrement to sunbeams from cucumbers, reducing human excrement to it’s original food
. Gulliver decided to leave Laputa and set out for Laggnagg . Gulliver sailed to Laggnagg. A dangerous voyage. Gulliver was delighted with this information and thought that if he were to be born a struldbrugg he would be a an oracle and a living treasury of knowledge and wisdom. Gulliver left Lunggnagg with letters from the king to the Emperor of Japan. Gulliver again set sail in the Adventure, this time as a navigator and not as a surgeon. His recruits from Barbados turned out to be rogues who threw him out of the ship. Gulliver learnt from them the word ‘ Yahoo' pronounced like the weighing of a horse and also the word ‘Houyhnhnms.’
● Fourth (last) journey of Gulliver’s life:
Gulliver was eager to the language of the Houyhnhnms. A sorrel nag taught him to speak the language well. This enabled Gulliver to explain to the Houyhnhnms about his land .However, he always remained fully clothed for fear of being mistaken for a Yahoo who resembled humans. Since Yahoos were odious animals, he did not want to be mistaken for them in any case. Gulliver on being questioned revealed everything about life in England. Gulliver related in detail the nature, reasons and the results of war in England. Millions of Yahoos were killed as a result. His perplexity deepened when Gulliver told him how the law could ruin people. Gulliver also revealed that money could perform any feat in Yahoo land and that the lack of it led people to rob, cheat, steal, pimp and whore as the case may be. The master was totally at a loss to understand this phenomenon. In this forth part suggests corruption of human . Gulliver’s master gave him a vivid account of what transpired at the Assembly. The Yahoos were considered the filthy, noisy and deformed animals of nature that had accidentally stumbled into their country. Gulliver had settled down comfortably and happily in the land of the Houyhnhnms. Gulliver was grief- stricken. Gulliver reached New Holland safely as there were no storms or mishaps at sea. Gulliver was unable to tolerate the sight and behaviour of the English Yahoos. He was all admiration for the Houyhnhnms and hoped to instruct his family about their virtues. He felt he could not tolerate humanity’s pride would not allow any person with this absurd vice to come near him.
●conclusion:
