Reading of Gulliver's Travels

In this seemingly long summer vacation, I think it is wise to fill a vacancy with a good book. And this summer I am very fortunate to have "Gleeve's Travels" to spend with me.

British realist novels rose in the 19th century. But in the 1930s and 1940s, British realism developed rapidly. However, in the early 19th century, ugly acts such as chasing after the name, corruption, and corruption in British society became commonplace in people's lives. The authors of the 忿忿 are determined to use the pen to criticize the political, moral, religious and cultural aspects of British society and to re-examine this society. These are nothing more than trying to awaken the increasingly sharp rule of capitalist society. Save the human beings who are in dire straits.

This is exactly the case of Dickens's novel. He describes the labor-management contradiction of British capitalism and reveals the tragic fate of the lower classes and the hypocrisy of the bourgeoisie. It has a strong criticality and exposure, with a special focus on depicting the darkness and ugliness of society and the tragic experience of the "little people" in the lower classes of society.

"Griffer's Travels" is an outstanding satirical novel of Swift. It has been translated into dozens of languages ​​for more than two centuries and is widely circulated in countries all over the world. The use of satirical insinuations reflects the social contradictions of the British in the first half of the 18th century, revealing the corruption and sin of the then ruling clique and attacking the war of aggression and colonialism. Despite the irony of the court and politicians, the work transcends its limitations of time and place and is considered one of the great treasures of literature. It is this enduring treasure that allows us to see a human being called a "modern society" across the century.

Gulliver’s Travels uses the “Greater Country” and “Little Country”. Slammed the British capitalist rule of the 18th century, the first place of the ironic Gulliver adventure was the small country. There he can drag the entire naval fleet with one hand, and eat a large number of chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep plus a lot of barrels of wine for a meal. In order to transport this behemoth to the capital, the people of Xiaorenguo used 500 craftsmen, countless ropes, nine hundred cranes, “big man” to carry the task, 15,000 “high” horses and so on. In such a small and miniature country, all ambitions and invitations, political struggles and warfare will inevitably appear to be "scarred."

The dispute between the party and the party is divided into camps by the height of the soles. The "high-heeled party" and the "low-heeld party" fight for me and do not stand together; the neighboring countries not only want to defeat and enslave each other, but also argue that the eggs should be knocked on. The "principle" issue.

In the second volume of the novel, the British name was criticized by the name. Gleve introduced the history, system and status quo of the United Kingdom to the kings of the Great Man, and all kinds of things for the country to "get face" for themselves. However, from the perspective of an adult country, the United Kingdom is a small country like Lili Pup, whose history is full of “greed, struggle, hypocrisy, dishonesty, cruelty, anger, resentment, jealousy, insidiousness and ambition”. The evil.

This novel not only attacks the status quo of society, but also consciously imitates language and text. Gulliver transcribed an official statement in the small country, which praised the king as the "king of kings", "down-to-earth, the sun above the head", and so on. However, the ubiquitous view of Gulliver reminds us that the monarch is only a dozen centimeters tall. The gap between "speaking" and "real" makes people hold more than one.

In the fourth quarter, although the concise style is still the same, it is described as the grotesque scene of the human beings being reversed; the horse becomes the carrier of reason, and the human being becomes the inferior animal.

He is constantly looking for the feeling of "adversity", which is the main reason why he has re-entered his country after all the hardships. To this end, his experience is even more amazing, and the courage he possesses is convincing. Each chapter of Gulliver’s Travels reveals different ideas, which are thought-provoking and reveal many of the problems that existed in society at the time. At the same time, he condemned the darkness of society and revealed the suffering and unequal status of the lower classes. Use a book to wake up an era and use an idea to save the little people in the heat. This is the satirical novel Gulliver's Travels that slammed the fall and corruption of British society at that time. This is the great writer Swift who is known for his temperament and sarcasm.

Through the novel, we saw the era of being full of intrigue and bitterness. Let us cross there through time and space. Going to the future.
