Gulliver's Travels has a distinct political tendency. Its critical edge focused on attacking British parliamentary politics and reactionary religious forces at that time. Through Gulliver's adventures in Lilliput (Lilliput), Brobdinnag (Great Britain), Lepida (Flying Island) and Houyhnhnms, the novel reflects some contradictions in English society in the first half of the 18th century, exposes and criticizes the corruption and evil of the British ruling class and the crazy plunder and cruel exploitation of British capitalism in the primitive accumulation period of capitalism.
