Imagination

When describing Gulliver's experience in Lilliput, Swift showed extremely rich imagination, describing many funny phenomena caused by the size gap between Gulliver and the people in Lilliput. Lilliput has a very prosperous economy, but its political environment is complicated, with complicated partisanship within and hostile neighbors outside. The king's inability to deal with domestic complexities, despite being a good ruler, illustrates the natural weakness of absolute monarchies: it is difficult for a centralised monarch to manage domestic affairs on his own. At the same time, Swift also described a large number of Lilliput officials in order to please the king, even at the risk of life to practice performance; At the king's command, the whole nation was mobilized, and a great deal of manpower and material resources were expend just to transport Gulliver to the capital. It is ironic that the country's poisonous political environment has produced two parties at loggerheads based on childish reasons such as differing heels
Leon.

    Swift's description is of deep significance. On the surface, it seems absurd in the author's works, but in fact, it alludes to British politics at that time to a certain extent.
