Gulliver sets another journey and ends up arriving at Brobdingnag. Then, a farmer discovers him and treats him like an animal. Gulliver is carried to the market place and then to the metropolis. He is sold to the queen and the queen presents him to the king. They provide him a place to live and he talks about his home country and how much he loves. This gets him to a quarrel with the queen’s dwarfs. Many events happen from this point on. To point out the general scheme, he suggests for an amendment for the map, execution of criminal, and so on. The queen, especially, likes his musical talents. Then, he finds out that this country’s laws and affairs are very loose and imperfect. Especially, their military is so weak and the facilities for training the soldiers are way small. Throughout the story, the author depicts the scenes more like gruesome rather than adventurous since looking the world with a magnifying glass would be totally horrifying because one gets to see things that he or she did not even consider.
If I were Gulliver, I would be horrified with my vision since I get to see all the unnecessary stuff such as pores on skin, dusts on table, and so on. Realizing the difference between the attitudes of Lilliputians and Brobdingnags, I think that size matters a lot. Lilliputians considered him as a hero and respected him while the Brobdingnags treated him just like an animal, without care or respect. It is just amazing that they live peacefully, lacking rules and disciplines. Maybe, it is just “trust” that governs the people. In our society, trust is hard to find in real lives. Everyone seeks for different things and has different intentions. People are surreptitious that they want only the good parts while seek to sneak out the bad things. They lie, fight, and even murder. Perhaps, the lack of trust among people led to the enforcements of laws and disciplines.
