Empower Contradictory and Whimsical Culture in Gulliver’s Travels Part I & II
The culture contradictions in two grotesque lands provide the whimsical experiences of the traveler. Swift explains the culture and politics in satiric way. He mocked England’s government and politics by describing the Lilliput and Borbingdang’s ruling. The people’s way of living expressed through their culture. The Lilliput was reversed from Borbingdang in all the ways. The Lilliputians has no reason, logic and justice in ruling. They followed certain culture in burial and in selecting official in the court which shows their stupidity. The Borbingdingians look for their country but didn’t had perfectness in anything. The Lilliputians were little but have a massive view for their living, while Borbingdangians were massive but little in their thoughts.
期刊介绍:
English is an internationally known journal of literary criticism, published on behalf of The English Association. Each issue contains essays on major works of English literature or on topics of general literary interest, aimed at readers within universities and colleges and presented in a lively and engaging style. There is a substantial review section, in which reviewers have space to situate a book within the context of recent developments in its field, and present a detailed argument. English is unusual among academic journals in publishing original poetry. This policy embodies the view that the critical and creative functions, often so widely separated in the teaching of English, can co-exist and cross-fertilise each other.
