Swift's Gulliver's Travels and Orwell's 1984 Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels and George Orwell's 1984, two of the most important political critiques and most widespread of English literature, have helped to shape world opinion by offering new points of view and new attitudes. , yet these two novels differ in the way they convey their satire on human nature. While Gulliver's Travels touches humanity with a humorous note and absurd situations, in order to reveal the hypocrisy of the public and the reprehensible behavior of society, 1984, unlike Gulliver's Travels, presents gloomy and depressing circumstances that portend a horrendous future and threaten human existence. in quest of revealing the inconsistencies and follies of humanity, Swift first offers readers the opportunity to laugh at themselves (disguised as Lilliputians), but later readers find these humorous depictions underscored by a raunchy and harsh social and moral satire. As Gulliver watches the Lilliputians struggle for power in the petty wars they wage, he laughs at what he sees as a joke, but in reality he mocks human beings and their petty disagreements and obsessions. “There is much pleasure in Lilliput, and with Gulliver we can assume a certain superior detachment and amusement at the ways of the pygmies” (Davis 86). Another example of entertainment for the viewer and reader occurs when the Emperor of Lilliput attempts to conquer the entire "world" (obviously unaware of a world much larger than his sphere centered on Lilliputo) and to overtake the navy of its mortal enemy. Always laughing and unsuspecting, Gulliver initially blindly follows his stay, and completes all the tasks assigned to him, because he believes in the goodness of princes. It is only when Gulliver becomes disillusioned with the iniquity of the princes and the emperor, and therefore of human beings, that he refuses to follow orders. These early feelings of blind trust seem comparable to the party members' unquestionable devotion to Big Brother in the novel 1984. At the moment when the Emperor of Lilliput accuses Gulliver of treason, Swift clarifies his satire, according to which the Lilliputians represent only humans miniatures. (Davis 87). Thus, which the Emperor and his staff had previously used, such as "the degenerate nature of man, the great laws of nature, the miseries of human life" break the mold of the Lilliputian world and apply universally in the Lilliputian world. state of all humans (Davis 90). This short, humorous narrative offers insight into the ultimate misanthropic messages and subtleties underlying the novel..
